(Undated) — The U.S. and Canada are putting the finishing touches on a deal to close the northern border to non-essential travel as a way to slow the spread of coronavirus. The Canadian Broadcasting Corporation reports the mutual agreement would close the border to tourists and shoppers while allowing Canadians to return home. The deal is expected to allow some commercial traffic to continue so critical supply chains won’t be interrupted.
