U.S. to lift Canada, Mexico land border restrictions in November for vaccinated visitors

Foreign visitors crossing into the United States by land or ferry will need to be vaccinated but will not necessarily need to show proof of vaccination unless they are referred by U.S. Customs and Border Patrol
The United States will lift restrictions at its land borders with Canada and Mexico for fully vaccinated foreign nationals in early November, ending historic curbs on non-essential travelers in place since March 2020 to address the pandemic, two U.S. officials said on October 12.
The rules, which will be formally announced by Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas on October 13, will cover land borders and ferry crossings. They are similar but not identical to planned requirements announced last month for international air travelers, the officials said in a call with reporters.
Lawmakers from New York State praised the move.
