Marekani imesema itafungua Mpaka wake wa Ardhi na Mataifa ya Mexico na Canada kuanzia Novemba kwa Wasafiri waliopata Chanjo dhidi ya CoronaVirus.

Taifa hilo lilibana masharti ya kusafiri kutoka Mexico na Canada tangu Machi mwaka 2020 ili kudhiti maambukizi. Hata hivyo, wale ambao bado hawajapata Chanjo hawatoruhusiwa kuingia.

Canada ilifungua Mpaka wake na Marekani kwa waliopata Chanjo tangu Agosti 9 na Mpaka wa Mexico haukufungwa wakati wote wa Mlipuko wa Virusi vya Corona.

The US has said it will reopen its land borders with Mexico and Canada to fully vaccinated travellers from November.

It means those sealed out of the US because of the pandemic can enter - for any reason - using land and ferry crossing points.

Unvaccinated travellers will still be banned from entering the US from Mexico and Canada by land. Air travel is allowed with a negative Covid test.

The US has curbed travel from Mexico and Canada since March 2020.

"We are pleased to be taking steps to resume regular travel in a safe and sustainable manner," Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas said in a statement.

Currently, most non-US citizens who have been to the UK, China, India, South Africa, Iran, Brazil and a number of European countries within the past 14 days are not allowed into the US.

But those rules will also be lifted in November, the Biden administration announced last month.

Essential travellers, including students, truck drivers, US citizens and healthcare workers were never banned from crossing land borders. However from January 2022, they will also need to show proof of vaccination to get into the US from Mexico or Canada.

"This approach will provide ample time for essential travellers... to get vaccinated," the Department of Homeland Security said.

An exact date in November has not yet been announced, but will be "very soon", an official told Reuters news agency.

Canada opened its border to fully vaccinated travellers from the US on 9 August. Mexico's border has remained open throughout the whole pandemic.

A controversial law which allows the US to swiftly expel undocumented migrants to prevent the spread of Covid-19 in holding facilities will stay in place, US media reports. The border legislation, known as Title 42, has cut off access to asylum for hundreds of thousands of migrants trying to enter from Mexico.
