The White House COVID-19 response coordinator Jeff Zients made the statement on Monday saying that the US will ease COVID restrictions for vaccinated air travellers. US will allow travel from Schengen countries, including France, Germany, Italy, Spain, Switzerland and Greece, as well as Britain, Ireland, China, India, South Africa, Iran and Brazil.

US citizens who are not fully vaccinated will still be able to enter the country but only with proof of a negative test within a day of travel.

Meanwhile, Restrictions on vehicle movement from Canada and Mexico will remain in place. “We do not have any updates on the land border policies,” Zients said.

The lifting of the ban has been met with widespread approval across Europe. an ABTA spokesperson said: “The news that double vaccinated travellers will be allowed to travel to the US from the UK from November is great news for holidaymakers, business travellers and those who have been separated from friends and family for so long. The USA is by far our most popular long haul destination and in a normal year attracts almost five million visitors from the UK. The announcement will come in time to allow people to, among other things, take the ever popular Christmas shopping trips to New York and is a very welcome boost for the winter sports market whose customers love the country’s high quality ski resorts.”
