    The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) is issuing corrections to a notice regarding temporary travel restrictions between the United States and Mexico that was initially published on December 22, 2020. The notice contained incorrect date references. Specifically, it mistakenly stated β€œJanuary 21, 2020" instead of the correct date, "January 21, 2021," in two sections of the original document. These corrections ensure that the intended travel restriction dates are accurately communicated.

    Simple Explanation

    The government wrote down the wrong date by mistake when telling people about how long they couldn't travel between the U.S. and Mexico by land and ferries. They meant to say these travel rules started on January 21, 2021, not 2020, and are now fixing that mistake to avoid any confusion.

    The Secretary of Homeland Security has decided to continue temporary travel restrictions at land ports of entry between the United States and Mexico due to the COVID-19 pandemic. These restrictions limit travel to "essential travel" only, which includes returning U.S. citizens, medical travel, educational travel, work-related travel, and certain other categories. The goal is to reduce the risk of spreading COVID-19 and protect public health. These limitations do not affect air, freight rail, or sea travel but do apply to passenger rail and ferry travel, and they will be in effect from January 22, 2021, to February 21, 2021.

    Simple Explanation

    The United States is keeping its border with Mexico mostly closed, allowing only important travel like going to work or school, or returning home, to help stop the spread of COVID-19 from January 22 to February 21, 2021.

    Simple Explanation

    The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) made a small mistake in a note about limits on travel between the U.S. and Canada. They wrote the wrong year for when the rules continued and have fixed it to say "January 21, 2021," instead of "January 21, 2020."
