US-Canada-Mexico Border Restrictions Will Last at Least Through March

Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau delivered a similar message via Twitter on the same day.

New rules about traveling to Canada by land have recently been implemented, Trudeau explained.

“If you’re returning to Canada through our land border, you’ll now have to show a negative PCR test result taken within the 72 hours before your arrival. You’ll then have to immediately quarantine for 14 days. This is not a suggestion — it’s mandatory, and it will be enforced. On top of that, as of Monday [February 22, 2021], you’ll also need to take a PCR test when you arrive at our land border. And toward the end of your 14-day quarantine, you’ll be required to take another one.”

Since January 26, all air passengers entering the US from abroad are required to show the results of their negative for COVID-19 test (whether PCR or antigen) taken no more than 72 hours before departure.
