US lifts pandemic travel ban, opens doors to visitors
The U.S. will allow in international travelers, but they must be vaccinated. The U.S. is also reopening the land borders with Canada and Mexico for the vaccinated.
The U.S. on Monday will lift pandemic travel restrictions that barred visitors in from nearly three dozen countries with vaccine and other requirements.
For the first time since the beginning of the pandemic, U.S. land borders open to non-essential travel. Fully vaccinated foreigners will be able to enter the U.S. to shop or visit friends and family.
The U.S. lifted restrictions Monday on travel from a long list of countries including Mexico, Canada and most of Europe, allowing tourists to make long-delayed trips and family members to reconnect with loved ones after more than a year and a half apart because of the pandemic.
Starting Monday, the U.S. begins accepting fully vaccinated travelers at airports and land borders, doing away with a COVID-19 restriction that dates back to the Trump administration.
