U.S. to ease travel restrictions for foreign visitors who are vaccinated against Covid

September 22, 2021

The U.S. will ease travel restrictions for international visitors who are vaccinated against Covid-19 in November, including those from the U.K. and EU, the White House said Monday. Airlines and other travel industry groups have clamored for the U.S. to lift the restrictions for months. The Biden administration is also tightening rules for unvaccinated U.S. citizens returning home. European and British officials have lifted entry bans for U.S. and other visitors since vaccines became widely available this spring, but the Biden administration hadn't reciprocated. In June, the U.S., U.K., EU, Mexico and Canada announced they would form a group to study how to safely reopen international travel.
