The United States is opening its border to the fully vaccinated visitors from Canada and Mexico starting in November.
“[United States] will begin allowing travelers from Mexico and Canada who are fully vaccinated for COVID-19 to enter the United States for non-essential purposes, including to visit friends and family or for tourism, via land and ferry border crossings,” U.S. Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas said in a statement.
The new rules are similar to the mandate announced last month regarding international air travelers.
Democratic leaders and lawmakers from the border states welcomed the federal move to ease the restrictions, which have devastated local economies.
