The Biden administration will drop travel restrictions for vaccinated people from November 8, reopening the US to foreign nationals travelling by air or land from places around the world, including the UK and Europe.
The White House confirmed on Friday its new travel system would start in three weeks’ time, ending the series of travel restrictions that have been in place since the start of the Covid-19 pandemic.
Kevin Munoz, a White House spokesperson, said on Twitter that the new rules would apply to “both international air travel and land travel”, and was “guided by public health, stringent, and consistent”.
