The Detroit News reports, “The Ambassador Bridge and Detroit-Windsor Tunnel were busy, but not crammed with Canadian tourists Monday when United States reopened its border to travelers.” A return of normal day-to-day traffic is not immediately expected because of a COVID-19 testing requirement imposed by Canada on anyone entering or reentering the county. The expensive and time-consuming testing procedure has critics on both sides of the border. Windsor, Ontario, Mayor Mayor Drew Dilkens told reporters, “Now there’s a pathway to cross, yet that pathway is dampened by an unreasonable and costly requirement for PCR tests to return to Canada. This PCR test requirement is a hard stop barrier for families to reunite except for the wealthiest of Canadians, and that is unfair.”
