TRAVEL RESTRICTIONS BETWEEN U.S. AND CANADA/MEXICO
March 27, 2020
Last week, the U.S. government reached agreements with the governments of Canada and Mexico to limit non-essential cross border travel between the U.S. and each respective country. On March 24, 2020, the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) published guidance on the temporary travel restrictions and what qualifies as essential travel, available here. Under the guidance, DHS made clear that the travel restrictions do not apply to air, rail, or sea travel at this time. Additionally, the notification made clear that individuals engaged in lawful cross-border trade and traveling to work in the United States are considered essential and may continue to travel.
