WASHINGTON — The United States (US) Centres for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and US State Department on Monday (Jan 10) advised against travel to neighbouring Canada because of a rising number of Covid-19 cases as the Omicron variant spreads.

The CDC elevated its travel recommendation to"Level Four: Very High" for Canada, telling Americans they should avoid travel, while the State Department also on Monday issued its"Level Four: Do Not Travel" advisory for Canada citing Covid-19 cases.

In November, the United States lifted restrictions at its land borders with Canada and Mexico for fully vaccinated foreign nationals, ending historic curbs on non-essential travellers put in place in March 2020 to address the Covid-19 pandemic."We are aware of the latest CDC advice," said a spokeswoman for Canadian Foreign Minister Melanie Joly, noting that last month Ottawa had urged residents against non-essential travel.
