Biden will also extend the restrictions to travelers who have recently been to South Africa, the official said.The step, which was first reported by Reuters, comes just one week after President Donald Trump signed an executive order in his final days in office lifting the restrictions on travelers from these countries effective January 26.
In fact, we plan to strengthen public health measures around international travel in order to further mitigate the spread of COVID-19."The decision to reinstate the travel restrictions -- and expand restrictions in the case of South Africa -- marks the latest effort by the Biden administration to break from Trump's discursive approach to the pandemic as cases continue to climb nationwide.
Great move!
It's a good and concrete step, towards arresting the pandemic.
Watch and learn the covid will again start to kill the people a lot faster then expected.
But I thought Biden said that because President Trump did it, it was a racist thing to do? He is doing it so it is ok now? I am confused.
Öxxhghk
It has been closed for 7 months and nothing changed
Oh good, maybe that means he will ban illegals from crossing the boarder and bringing virus into our country ... Oh wait, he promised them they could come.
You have to be very ignorant in the Virus subject to don’t understand that is a Pandemic (Everyone in the planet is gonna get it) why hiring from it with a Face-Mask or travel Restrictions? Ignorants. Government just wanna make you think they are doing something about it.
This is what CARING and GOVERNING looks like!!!
About time and adult led the country
University of Michigan is in two weeks quarantine because students athletic travel to UK bring back COVID19
Congratulations thanks to remove this crazy guy from governement it was a scandal
Don’t be too fast because you want to please people
So he does What trump did and suddenly it becomes super cool
Quite right ! ( I’m in the UK) we should have closed our own borders in March!
Xenophobic

“there’s nothing we can do to change the trajectory of the pandemic in the next several months.” - Joe Biden, January 22, 2021
America hail China
You are all delusional just like this old Bat and will get what wanted!!!!! Remember over 70million people love our President Trump!!!!
Smart & necessary Americans are already super spreading the virus at home by flying around non essential due to low fares a dangerous occurrence is happening on every flight the minute u take off mask to eat or drink ur exposing the person right next to u! Zero social distancing
Biden will reinstate restrictions lifted by Trump and lift restrictions by Trump for Muslim & other countries. See a pattern here? Anything you did I will undo- with no thought how it impacts America - President Biden to President Trump
How is that gonna slow down the virus? 😂😂😂 time to move from this Covid crap!! Can’t believe he wants us to keep covering up our freaking faces until April 30th. This isn’t Japan with these bullshit masks!
Am I the only one that sees the irony in Biden wanting to restrict travel from places that have open borders, while at the same time wanting to open our borders?
Isn’t that xenophobic?
But the predominantly Muslim counties are okay
That is a good thing !!
The ban was in effect on Trump watch. And the us still got hit hard with covid19.
Thank you.
Absurd. What is he trying to prove? He’s not protecting the US It’s already here. They’ve been banned since March but Russia and India have been allowed in. Look at their numbers
Restrictions lifted by president Trump
About time somebody started doing something that makes sense.
Well, you know, Biden needs to make room for the hoards of South and Central Americans head for our boarder. Com’on man.
Pull trumps passport while you're at it!
Xenophobia.
As I was taught by all the Dems, libs, etc. I believe I’m supposed to tweet that JoeBiden is a racist for this ban JoeBidenIsNotMyPresident JoeBidenIsARacist Resist46 Impeach46 Resistance How’d I do?
A bit xenophobic don't you think?
Sounds like discrimination to me buddy, did you run this past the veep first?
mariantop1 Why now?
That's one way of keeping it going. Great job Biden
Racist
Very good, very responsible man, I hope relationship with Cuba will be better.
Handle Your Business JOE!!!!
So refreshing having a president who believes in science and cares more about saving lives than the stock market.
Thank God
I'm glad. Lock it down. We need someone to keep us safe and not lie and be a fraud. Thanks Joe and Kamala! We have hope again over here.
Thank you Mr. President!!!👍
We can’t leave our house without a mask and our kids can’t go to school for almost a YEAR but we can open international borders for travel! ImpeachBiden
Can we ban our troops from the Middle East?
WHITE TRAVEL BAN
Another words Biden is continuing Trump COVID travel policies. Even Trump reversed them last minute knowing that it is too early to reopen travel. Trump also wanted to show that Biden will agree with Trump. Just politics. However. Unfortunately coronavirus war is continuing.
I thought those were racist
Captain Dick wad
Amazing how most people react depending if their team made the decision.
Jeesh .. what a xenophobe
I hope Biden punishes Boris
Funny when Trump put them in place, people like Biden railed on him. Come on Politicians and Media. Your day is coming because people aren't idiots.
Americans seem to get their knickers in a twist about everything rather than actually thinking it over.. In Australia we think 'yeah good idea' which is probably why we have 0 covid..
A wonderful start We are all in this together and we all need to ensure each of us follows guidelines WE CAN HALT THIS VIRUS TOGETHER IT WILL TAKE GREAT CONSCIENCE EFFORT OUR FOREFATHERS HAD AND WE DO TO. A STRONG WILL FOR A BETTER TODAY BEST TOMORROW
Xenophobe!
JoeBiden WhiteHouse Couples & families have already been separated for 10+ months with no end in sight bc of the travel ban. Tourism workers are in trouble and it is getting more and more difficult to maintain employees. With testing & isolation borders should be open!
I thought Trump was a monster for having travel restrictions?
abdallahcnn ArletteSaenz do you know how long these will be reinstated for? Did the administration any exemptions for those who have been vaccinated?
According to the report from John Hopkins University, the mortality rate for 2020 wasn’t worse than any other year. And they blamed COVID-19 for many deaths that would’ve normally been associated with heart attacks, cancer, leukemia etc. This is still such a scam on the public.
JustinTrudeau Canada should follow suit
Thank God, Thank God we have a President that is working to protect us and keep us safe. Thank you for all your hard work President Biden, and to VP Harris.
But you can still just walk through the southern boarder🤦♂️
Add Australia please
🤦🏾♂️
It’s a long road to recovery
👍 yes
Xenophobe
Opening the borders is expensive. More exposure to Covid-19 and the new mutant hybrid Covid...ya'll crazy
But Terrorist countries are welcome back in.
Shut down any travel to USA...
Why is Biden such a xenophobe
Congratulations You are a excellent politician of American.. l love you so much.. god bless you and your family....? WELLCOME WELLCOME TO PARIS
Are we on schedule for the introduction of the new 'digital ID (financial) total control society', for the global elites?
Good works deserves a recommendation, just as a I saw many people talking about christine_gg1 I’m here to testify of her great works. With little knowledge I have been able to earn $10,000 in 2 weeks from her trading platform. She is amazing
Thank You
So it’s not racist now? Biden is literally REINSTATING a policy from the previous administration’s COVID response that he refused to even acknowledge existed.
It’s about time. New strains are popping in 🇬🇧 & 🇧🇷 meaning more outbreaks that can be more contagious.
Le variant Sud-africain, diminue l’efficacité des vaccins d’environ 40% Pour le covid-19 il y a non-protection. Faite très attention à vous et vos proches ne négligez pas cette contamination. Il et possible que l'espèce humaine ne trouve aucune solution contre le covid-19.
WHY IS TWITTER ALLOWING MARCO RUBIO TO SENSOR REPLIES TO HIS RELIGIOUS TWEETS? TWITTER NEEDS TO ALLOW FREEDOM OF RELIGION.
It’s ok he’s about to open the borders so welcome to hell
Binational couples & families have already been separated for 10+ months with no end in sight bc of the travel ban. With testing & isolation borders should be open! At the very least allow exemptions for binational couples to reunite. LoveIsNotTourism
That is good keep everyone out like Canada
And so it begins! Pretty soon you wont even be able to leave your own home. Why did peep let Biden be prez. Hes just gunna lock everyone down till the next prez election.
Great news nobody in their right mind would want to visit the USA
this is ridiculous- with Covid testing & quarantine there’s NO need to keep the travel ban. Binational couples and families have already been separated for nearly an ENTIRE YEAR LoveIsNotTourism
Why not South Africa, though? Isn’t that strain potentially worse?
Good
Dumb
We need these sanctions so we can get on with our lives. Hopefully we can stem this covid enough to get the numbers down. I have travel plans to Europe in October. I want to be able to travel safely
Can you stop Americans from traveling to Mexico and spreading the virus in our country? Tyvm.
with so many dead the United States has to lock everything up.
That’s great keep the travel industry shut down more jobs lost!!! keepyourpromisesJoe
adsheets 🇮🇪 is on the list.
This was xenophobic when Trumo did it, bow the marxist left celebrate it🙄. Pot meet kettle🤡
Xenophobic
That's xenophobic
But China and Middle East are ok right because he lifted those bans day 1 that trump left in place!! Now Europe can’t come over. Can’t say it’s because of cv19 because the strains are already in the states!
Xenophobia
Well done, President Biden.
Finally someone who understands the importance of containment as a way of health control and safety
Best news. So the only way granted by slippy Joe is to enter illegally. Wil tell my Africa brothers it's time we abandon visa and enter USA illegal cus thats the only way to be welcome by Biden
❤️👍
Racist!
Great move. Thank you.
Agree. When the ban was in place cases went down but of course Republicans would make this a political cheap shot. We have to delay this virus as much as we can so a 30 days ban while vaccine are going out is not a bad idea. Other nations think we're dumb as fuck.
Then why are you letting illegal aliens in the country with Cove it is crazy as it is
Surprising move from a “pro-immigration” administration.....let visa holders reunite with their American families. WhiteHouse PressSec jrpsaki
Until such time as the virus is finally under control , locking down the borders is a smart move and obviously one that much of Europe seems to understand.
Not for passengers in transit.
Wow. What a racist.
Isn’t this xenophobic?
Yes!
But then how will members of party UCP travel from Kingdom United back to Alberta province through States United to avoid rules put in place by Mr Justins? jkenney Alberta_UCP ElvisMoomgwambi gurvis_purdy PrestonPixie Croz556 UCPCaucus LukaszukAB
I hope there's some kind of covid restriction at our borders.
Joe took Tump’s bait!
What about China
Putain il va tué l'économie
Nooooooo
Yessss..Trump can't flee
Racist
Ummm, isn’t that xenophobic?
Great! These new variants feel like last year all over again. Let’s not make the same mistakes!
What a racist xenophobe 🙄
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 yes yours are safe
We have to save our selves! How hard is it to wear a mask, social distance and wash/ sanitize your hands?! Don’t let your guard down!
Does this mean Trump can’t travel to Europe or escape to Brazil? Asking for a friend
THIS IS RACIST
RACIST!! RACIST!!
The xenophobia... Wow.
Good
Racist
Xenophobe.
Wind-Bag
JoeBiden thanks joe! Been waiting for cancer appointment in USA
Thank you. It’s only right thing to do.
So what exactly is President Biden’s plan to stop covid? The most popular candidate in history ran in the fact that he had a plan to change the trajectory. I’m now wondering what it is!
Xenophobe!!!
Go joe!!!
Hmmm WHITE countries while allowing travel to/from Muslim countries....America LAST!
Does this make Biden racist against those countries
Sounds like a Muslim ban to me
Is this really your president? He is clearly Xenophobic.
What happened to the covid infection and death count on your channel, funny how as soon as election was over so was it , CNN is pathetic
So under Grandpa Earpiece, only Muslims and illegal immigrants may come into the U.S.
Having Unrepentant heart will cause you to be thrown into the lake of fire in hell. Watch this
