Travel: US eases travel rules for 61 countries – but not UK

The US has stimulated trip restrictions for many countries as a roll-out coronavirus vaccine continuing.

The public health agency renewed the criteria on Monday, which saw 61 countries derived from the level 4 ranking “avoiding all trips”.

Countries such as France, Spain and Italy are now level 3, which means that passengers who are fully vaccinated can go to these areas.

Tourists from the US can visit England but have to isolate themselves.

Because the US was in the “Amber list” of England, visitors from the country had to isolate themselves for 10 days on arrival.

But most passengers from the UK are still prohibited from traveling to the US.

Although the UK was registered as Level 3 by the Control Center and Prevention of US Disease, based on the Presidential Decree introduced last March, a non-US citizen who had been in the UK in the last 14 days could not enter the country except specific exceptions to apply.

US centers for controlling and prevention of disease say that it has updated criteria for “better countries differ from the situation of severe outbreaks from countries with sustainable, but controlled, Covid-19.”

CDC said new criteria for level 4 recommendations “avoid all trips” have changed from 100 cases per 100,000 to 500 cases per 100,000.

Other countries that see their ranks are lowered include:

Ecuador

Philippines

south Africa

Canada

Mexico.

Russia

Switzerland.

Jordan

Denmark

Turkey

Ukraine.

Honduras.

Hungary

Japan also saw its travel rankings lowered to allow passengers who were vaccinated to travel in run-up to the Tokyo Olympics at the end of July. On May 24, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs had issued a warning against the country, quoting a new wave of Covid-19 cases.

CDC said it also expects more countries to get lower rankings in the coming weeks.

Vacation on the Amber List – All You Need to Know

It came after the boss of all airlines offering UK-US flights and Heathrow airport issued a shared call for a “corridor” trans-Atlantic trip on Monday.

The Group said it would be “important to trigger economic recovery” in a statement and urged Prime Minister Boris Johnson and President Joe Biden to discuss the possibility of future G7 meetings.

Shai Weiss, Boss Virgin Atlantic, said on Monday: “There is no reason for the US to miss the English green list. This approach that is too careful it fails to reap the benefits of a successful vaccination program in the UK and our.”

Adding the US to the green list will remove the need for quarantine back to England. However, passengers still need to have evidence of negative Covid test results on departure.

“Customers, families, and business need to order and travel with confidence. After 15 months restrictions, time to act now,” added Mr Weiss.
