An update from me while waiting for a new set of questions. On Wednesday, March 18, it was announced that the land border between the US and Canada would be closed for an indefinite period of time except for truckers and some essential travel. At the time, the announcements didn't say when it would begin. I called the US side of the border on Wednesday asking if the border would be shut before the next day but they said they hadn't received any instructions and couldn't predict.

Today, I crossed the border (Thursday, March 19th). Nearly empty. One lane was empty. A second lane had one car in front of me. This was despite more lengthy questioning and an illness information sheet given to everyone. On the way to the border, a news radio station played a quote from Prime Minister Justin Trudeau that the border would be sealed at night between Friday evening (3/20/2020) and Saturday.

I then returned across the border after about 3 hours (and washing hands a lot as well as not talking with anyone). It was one of my most anti-social trips ever....no human contact.
