"After checking the rise of the COVID-19 spread, Mexico proposed to the US the extension of all non-essential traffic restriction at the common border for 30 more days," the ministry said on Twitter.
"Both countries will continue looking to coordinate the sanitary measures at the border region. The measures will be valid until August 21, 2020," it added.
The border restrictions were first implemented on March 21.
