The Epoch Times After nearly 20 months of closed borders, the United States on Monday reopened to international travel, welcoming vaccinated Europeans and others who had been unable to enter the country due to COVID-19 restrictions.
American citizens and permanent residents were always allowed to enter the United States, but the COVID-19 travel restrictions grounded tourists, thwarted business travelers, and kept families apart for nearly two years. Under new rules, travelers must have proof of vaccination and a negative COVID-19 test.
The travel ban, first implemented by former President Donald Trump, and later kept in place and expanded by President Joe Biden, blocked travelers from 33 countries, including much of Europe, the United Kingdom, and China.
