Summary:
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.
Noncitizens visiting the United States will have to show proof of vaccination and a negative Covid test taken within three days of departure, said Jeff Zients, who is leading the nation s Covid response efforts for the White House.
The changes will take effect in early November, which the airline industry expects will spur holiday bookings. They must show proof of vaccination prior to boarding a U.S.-bound airplane, Zients said during a press briefing.
The Biden administration is also tightening rules for unvaccinated U.S. citizens returning home. They will need to test one day before departure and test again after returning.
There will be a few exemptions to the vaccination requirements for foreign visitors, such as for children not yet eligible to be vaccinated, according to a person familiar with the White House s strategy, but full details of the policy have not yet been released.
