Prime Minister Justin Canada says Canada will close border to all who are not Canadian citizens or permanent residents to slow spread of COVID-19.

Trudeau made the announcement from the steps of Rideau cottage in Ottawa, as he is in self-isolation after his wife, Sophie was diagnosed with COVID-19 following a trip to the U.K.

The Prime Minister said U.S. citizens as well as commerce and trade will be allowed in and out of the country.
