Individuals crossing the U.S.-Mexico border will be subject to secondary inspections after a survey of people crossing the border found 60% of trips were nonessential, a local NBC affiliate reported.
The survey was reportedly given to 100,000 U.S. citizens and permanent residents, and found that over 60% of the trips made were considered nonessential, NBC San Diego reported.
To reduce the risk of spreading the novel coronavirus, Customs and Border Protection implemented new measures to restrict nonessential travel across the borders, according to the outlet.
