US issues Fresh Travel Guidelines for International Travelers
US has issued fresh travel guidelines for international travelers amidst Omicron threat.
The United States has announced to impose a ban on entry of visitors from Botswana, South Africa, Lesotho, Eswatini, Namibia, Zimbabwe, Malawi, and Mozambique. The move has come after three weeks of lifting a blanket pandemic travel ban on more than 30 countries.
With the emergence of the new variant of Covid-19, Omicron, rules of international travel are changing again everywhere.
From Monday, the United States of America will be imposing stricter testing requirements for inbound travelers, including US citizens.
As per the reports, the air travelers flying to the US will now be required to provide proof of a negative Covid-19 result to the airlines, which has been taken within one day of their departure. Both fully vaccinated travelers as well as US citizens will have to abide by this rule.
On Sunday, “That ban was done at a time when we were really in the dark -- we had no idea what was going on,” White House medical adviser Anthony Fauci said in an interview with CNN’s “State of the Union.”
