    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 Department of Homeland Security has decided to continue limiting travel from Canada into the United States at land ports of entry along the border. Travel is restricted to "essential travel" only, which includes activities like returning U.S. citizens, medical purposes, and lawful trade. Non-essential travel, such as tourism, is not allowed under this rule. These restrictions are temporary and will be in place until March 21, 2021, but can be adjusted as needed.

    Simple Explanation

    The people in charge of keeping the U.S. safe decided that only important trips from Canada to the U.S. are allowed right now, like going to work, visiting a doctor, or if you're coming home. Fun trips, like going on vacation, will have to wait until at least March 21, 2021.

    The U.S. Department of Homeland Security continues to enforce temporary travel restrictions at land ports of entry along the United States-Canada border. These restrictions allow only "essential travel," which includes returning U.S. citizens, travel for medical or educational purposes, and essential work, among others. Non-essential travel, like tourism, is not permitted during this period. These measures aim to limit the spread of COVID-19 and are in effect until February 21, 2021.

    Simple Explanation

    The U.S. Department of Homeland Security says people can only cross the border from Canada into the U.S. for important reasons like work or medical care, not for fun trips, until February 21, 2021, to help stop the spread of COVID-19.
