State Department issues new travel advisory

Just when Canada finally opened up the border to double dosed Americans, and Niagara tourism operators were seeing an increase in business, comes a new advisory from Washington asking them to stay home

Americans are being told to reconsider travel to Canada due to what the Centers for Disease Control calls ''high'' levels of COVID-19 cases.

There's no specific reason given for the revised advisory

The new Level 3 travel advisory marks an end to a three-week period when US travellers were simply advised to ''exercise increased caution.''

That Level 2 advisory was issued when Canada opened the border to fully vaccinated U-S citizens and permanent residents.

Only about 61 per cent of eligible Americans are fully vaccinated.

Nearly 75 per cent of Canadians age 12 and up have had their shots.
