Great news on the way for all European travelers wishing to travel to the United States. The coordinator of the team for the fight to the Covid-19 of the White House, Jeff Zients, in fact announced that from the next November the "travel bans”Will no longer be valid for visitors from countries of the European Union, Britain, Brazil, China, India, South Africa e Iran. In a few weeks it will therefore be possible to return to travel to the USA without problems (or almost). In fact, it is not a "green light" for everyone, but to be able to enter US territory you must be in possession of a fundamental requirement. Travelers will need to prove that they have been vaccinated with double dose. Beyond this certification, tourists wishing to visit the United States will also need to present a certificate of a Covid-19 test negative, carried out 72 within hours from the flight.
What is the United States travel ban
The travel ban is a measure introduced by the former president of the United States, Donald Trump, March 2020. The US administration has decided to close the borders to avoid possible contagion through travelers coming from 33 different countries (including all 27 EU countries). Even the new president Joe Biden, after arriving at the White House, has decided to keep the ban. In the last period, many have asked for the withdrawal of this measure, considered "unjust", since theEurope is the continent with most vaccinated in the world. Precisely in controversy with the travel ban, the vice president of the European Commission, Schina's Margaritis, in early September, he canceled his visit to the United States, scheduled for the following week. While this problem appears to have finally been resolved, US authorities will still have to clarify some issues before 1th November.
The AstraZeneca knot
One of the main problems ofgoodbye to the travel ban it's about i vaccines. It is true that the United States will accept all Europeans "fully vaccinated”, But not all vaccines approved in Europe have also been approved in the US VaxZevria, the much-discussed vaccine from AstraZeneca. To date, in fact, the Food and Drugs Administration (FdA) only approved vaccines Pfizer, Modern e Johnson & Johnson. Considering that a part of Europeans received the double vaccination with AstraZeneca, it will be necessary to understand if these visitors will also be accepted in US territory. On this subject, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, or the federal agency of US Department of Health. It really is there end of the travel ban or will this still apply to some travelers? What will become of the Italians in the USA. who wish to return to visit our country without problems? We will soon know the answer.
