Vehicle, rail and ferry travel between the U.S., Canada and Mexico has been largely restricted to essential travel, such as trade, since the earliest days of the pandemic.
The new rules to be announced today will allow fully vaccinated foreign nationals entry to the U.S. regardless of the reason for travel.
That starts in early November, when a similar easing of restrictions is set to kick in for air travel.
