TRAVEL RESTRICTIONS LOOSENED TO ALLOW FAMILIES TO REUNITE

Canada’s ban on non-essential crossings of the U.s.-canada border is being loosened slightly to allow some families to reunite, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau announced Monday. Immediate family members of Canadian citizens or permanent residents will be allowed in, as long as they have no sign they might have COVID-19. The border restrictions still require anyone entering from the U.S. to self-isolate for two weeks. “If you don’t follow these rules, you could face serious penalties,” Trudeau warned.
