The month-long ban - which does not cover trade - was first imposed in March and has been rolled over several times as cases in the United States spike. The current range of restrictions runs out on Aug 21. In Ottawa, a Canadian source familiar with government thinking confirmed the two nations planned to announce the border restrictions would remain until Sept 21. The source requested anonymity because they were not authorised to speak to the media.

A July 17 poll by Ipsos-Reid said 85 per cent of Canadians think the land border should stay closed until at least the end of 2020.
