WASHINGTON, Oct 13, 2021 (BSS/AFP) - The United States will open its land
borders with Mexico and Canada in "early November" to non-essential travelers
who are fully vaccinated against Covid-19, a senior White House official
announced Tuesday.

  The official said the administration would give the "precise date very
soon" -- both for the land crossings as well as international trips by plane,
which the official said would be timed to "go together."

  The US already announced in September that it would lift bans in November
on all vaccinated air passengers who undergo testing and contact tracing.
