US residents who live in Point Roberts, Washington, won't need COVID-19 tests if they are travelling through Canada for essential services.
Travel between the seaside enclave and the rest of Washington state requires a 40-kilometre trip through British Columbia.
Washington State Governor Jay Inslee says that habitual residents of Point Roberts will not have to take a COVID-19 test in either the United States or Canada.
The Canada-US border has been closed to non-essential travel since March 2020.
Anyone entering Canada for non-essential travel purposes needs to show negative COVID-19 tests attained within 72 hours.
Although there are some relaxations for commercial truckers.
