This is the end of a separation of more than a year and a half between Americans and the rest of the world. the travel ban (“Travel ban”) imposed on travelers by former US President Donald Trump in March 2020 because of the coronavirus, was lifted on Monday, November 8.
More than thirty countries are affected by the lifting of entry restrictions for travelers “Non-essential”, who mostly come from European countries, Mexico and Canada, but visitors will remain under surveillance.
Now, for those arriving by air, the United States requires proof of vaccination, the results of a test no more than three days old, and the establishment by airlines of a contact tracing system. .
For people arriving by land, the restrictions will be lifted in two stages. Since Monday, people coming for family or tourist reasons can cross borders, provided they are vaccinated; people coming for compelling reasons – such as truck drivers – are exempt from this obligation. From January, this will apply to all visitors, regardless of their reason for entry.
From the first hour on Monday, tourists and families separated by the coronavirus flocked to airports and land borders.
