On November 8, according to Reuters, fully vaccinated foreign visitors can enter the United States via a communication the White House sent on Friday.
The new rules will require all foreign nationals arriving in the United States to show proof of being fully vaccinated, the White House Covid-19 response coordinator Jeff Zients said. He said the new rules would take effect in early November, a timeline that will give agencies and airlines “time to prepare.”
US travel bans were first imposed in the earliest days of the pandemic when then-President Donald Trump limited travel from China in January 2020.
That step failed to prevent the virus from reaching the United States, but additional countries were added to the list as health officials pressed the White House to limit entry from places where case rates were high.
