The American land border opened to fully-vaccinated travellers from Canada Monday morning.

This is the first time non-essential border crossers are able to enter the US since March 2020. But to cross back to Canada, people will need to present a negative COVID-19 test result from up to 72 hours before their return.

The Estevan border crossing opened at 9 a.m. Monday. There were about a dozen vehicles lined up to cross just before it opened.
