Country will reopen to vaccinated travellers from Monday

The United States will officially open its borders to fully vaccinated travellers from Monday after being shut off from most of the world for 20 months.

The ban was imposed by former President Donald Trump as a result of the Covid-19 pandemic and applied to visitors from over 30 countries.

Apart from keeping loved ones apart, the ban has also had major negative impacts on the nation’s tourism industry.

Airlines are eagerly awaiting an influx of travellers from Monday, with fully vaccinated individuals required to undergo testing and contact tracing upon entry to the States.

United Airlines says it expects a 50 percent increase in international inbound passengers… with Delta’s chief executive warning travellers to expect queues.

He says “it’s going to be a bit sloppy at first. I can assure you, there will be lines, unfortunately.”

The previous rules barred entry to most non-U-S citizens who had been in the U-K, much of Europe, China, India, South Africa, Iran and Brazil.

There will be no quarantine requirements for arrivals.
