The Canada-US border will close to all non-essential travel in a measure designed to stop the spread of coronavirus, US President Donald Trump announced in a tweet on Wednesday.
"We will be, by mutual consent, closing our northern border with Canada to non-essential traffic. Trade will not be affected," Trump tweeted.
More details are expected later Wednesday.
The move comes after Canada barred entry to everyone who is not a citizen or permanent resident on Monday.
At the time of that announcement, U.S. citizens, immediate family members of citizens, aircrew and diplomats were exempt.
Anyone displaying symptoms of COVID-19 is not allowed to board flights to Canada, with air operators required to complete a basic health check on every passenger.
