On Saturday, March 21, the border between the U.S. and Canada was closed to non-essential travel for the next 30 days.&nbsp;The closure came through a joint initiative between the U.S. Department of Homeland Security and the Canada Border Services Agency. Although the U.S. and Canada did not precisely define &ldquo;essential travel,&rdquo; a joint statement released by both governments provided some indication of allowable cross border traffic.&nbsp;
