U.S. to relax travel restrictions for vaccinated foreign air travelers in NovemberThe United States will reopen in November to air travelers from 33 countries including China, India, Brazil and most of Europe who are fully vaccinated against COVID-19, the White House said on Monday, easing tough pandemic-related restrictions that started early last year.

Passengers who are fully vaccinated against Covid-19 will be able to fly to the US from anywhere in the world from November, the Biden administration has announced, bringing an end to the travel bans first imposed by former president Donald Trump 18 months ago.

The White House on Monday said travellers would have to show proof of having been fully vaccinated and a negative test taken in the previous three days, starting in early November. They will also have to wear a mask for the journey and to share their telephone number and email address for contact tracing.

Since last year, people without US citizenship, green cards or specific exemptions have been banned from travelling to the US if they have been in the UK, Ireland, the Schengen area, China, India, Iran, South Africa or Brazil in the previous 14 days.
