UPDATE: Prime Minister Justin Trudeau says the border will close tomorrow night.

Essential service workers will still be able to cross over.

This includes healthcare professionals and air-crews.

You'll have a tough time if you're trying to cross the border in Niagara.

Canada has reached a deal with the United States, to close the border to non-essential traffic.

This means you won't be able to cross the border for recreation or tourism.

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau says trade will not be affected.

He says the supply chains that bring both countries food, medicine and other important products will be preserved.
