Today, the White House announced that the US will lift Covid travel bans on all air passengers from 33 countries including India, China, Brazil, and most of Europe who are fully vaccinated against COVID-19. Foreign Nationals will have to test negative for COVID-19 within 3 days of travel and provide proof of the negative result, as is currently required. Americans not fully vaccinated will still be able to enter, but only on testing negative within a day of travel.
The Biden administration will also be making additional recommendations to stop the spread of COVID-19, including
1) Continuing the mask mandate through January 18, 2022
2) Expanding pre-departure and post-arrival testing requirements
3) Implanting a contact tracing order for airlines
The US had lagged other European countries in lifting such restrictions, and allies welcomed the move.
