Travel to learn. Pick up something new about the world around you. Maybe it'll change your perceptions; perhaps it'll reaffirm them. It can be to some faraway land on the other side of the globe. Maybe it's the place next door. Just keep moving and exploring. And take a photo to remember the moment. (Photo by Todd DeFeo/The DeFeo Groupe)

The U.S. and Canada will close their border to non-essential traffic to limit the spread of the novel coronavirus.

President Donald Trump confirmed the news on Twitter.

“We will be, by mutual consent, temporarily closing our Northern Border with Canada to non-essential traffic,” Trump tweeted. “Trade will not be affected. Details to follow!”

More than 200,000 cases of COVID-19 have been confirmed globally.
