This does not apply to land border crossings.

You must show your negative result to the airline before you board your flight.

Wearing a mask over your nose and mouth is required in indoor areas of public transportation (including airplanes) traveling into, within, or out of the United States and indoors in U.S. transportation hubs (including airports).
