The United States announced that, to decrease the spread of COVID-19, including the Delta variant, it is extending restrictions on non-essential travel at the land and ferry crossings with Canada and Mexico through October 21, while ensuring the continued flow of essential trade and air travel by Canadians.

The U.S. Homeland Security Secretary has determined that the risk of continued transmission and spread of the virus associated with COVID-19 between the United States and Canada poses an ongoing "specific threat to human life or national interests."

Meanwhile, the White House announced that the United States will reopen in November to air travelers from 33 countries including China, India, Brazil and most of Europe who are fully vaccinated against COVID-19.

It gave no indication if the vaccination requirement would apply to Canadians who travel by air to the U.S.
