The Biden administration is set to announce Wednesday that the U.S. will open its land borders to nonessential travel in early November after 19 long months. Canada and Mexico have been pressing the administration for some time to open the borders; Canada reopened to American travelers in August. Nonessential travelers must present proof they have been fully vaccinated with a vaccine approved for emergency use by the WHO to cross the land border into the U.S. The AP reports that by mid-January, even essential travelers, like truckers, will need to provide proof of vaccination to cross the border into the U.S.
