WASHINGTON -- The U.S. State Department is now urging Americans to "reconsider travel" to Canada due to what the Centers for Disease Control call "high" levels of COVID-19 infection.
The new Level 3 travel advisory, issued today, marks a quick end to a three-week period when the warning to would-be travellers to Canada had been eased to "exercise increased caution." That Level 2 advisory coincided with Canada's decision to allow fully vaccinated U.S. citizens and permanent residents back into the country.There was no specific reason given for the revised advisory beyond the CDC's notice, also issued today, which pegs Canada's current COVID-19 levels at "high."
Only about 61 per cent of eligible Americans are fully vaccinated, compared with nearly 75 per cent of Canadians over the age of 12. The U.S. is maintaining its existing restrictions on non-essential Canadian travellers until at least Sept. 21, citing the ongoing spread of the Delta variant of COVID-19.
Good thing we were pressured to open the border
Or, let Canadians in!
Yeah, bc we don't want them here. We have enough of our own spreading their stupidity. We don't need any more, thanks.
That should go both ways still. Reading about so many States with surging numbers.
Pot meet kettle. US biggest shit show in the world. We should be closing them off!
Definitely , after all NS has about 10 cases a day, go to Florida instead !
The pot calling the Kettle black
This is laughable. The Covid rates in America are out of sight. The Covid rates in Canada are falling. Please Canadians don’t go down. Please PM seal our border. Please Americans stay on your side.
That’s laughable.
Have they seen their numbers? Maybe they should recommend that people not travel to FL, TX, TN, SC! And I’m a US citizen!
Same story different day...USA says don't go to Canada it's unsafe...CANADA says stay out of USA it's unsafe. It's one big circle jerk...
I guess their businesses are tired of losing their dollars
Yes they don’t want US to come to Canada and realize how much safer it is here because of higher vaccination rates and public healthcare.. they may get jealous
Canadians should reconsider travelling to the USA
Are you shitting me? The home of Florida and Texas is warning against travel to Canada?
Hey CDCgov, 🇺🇸 positive tests at 120,000/day and deaths of approx. 1,000/ day. 🇨🇦 positive tests at 6,000/day and 10-15 deaths/day. Who should reconsider travelling where? COVID19
Good stay home.
Seems like Canada is more interested in the yankee dollar than disallowing Americans from crossing the border regardless of the higher amount of covid cases down there one open and one close just don’t make any sense..we’re much smarter than that.
POTUS Biden keeps telling Americans: 'Trust science afor Covid Facts' yet StateDept & CDCgov warn against travel to Canada? FACT 61% of eligible Americans fully vaccinated, vs 75% of Canadians over 12. Canada should shut land. water & Air borders to infectious Americans! CNN
Good idea
The CDC is clueless … Canada has a fraction of Covid cases compared to the US and higher vaccination rates than the US. They have State Governers crying on TV for their hospitals are maxed out..but not in Canada for we have been in jail for 18 mos. the advice s/b opposite.
Great time to call an ELECTION Trudeau!!!!
JustinTrudeau should take that as as a clue to it being time to close the borders again. Especially because if delta & its inflamation state side
