The White House is not ready to immediately lift travel restrictions because of the rising COVID-19 case load and highly transmissible COVID-19 Delta variant, the official said.

Last month, Reuters reported that the White House was considering requiring foreign visitors to be vaccinated as part of discussions on how to relax travel restrictions. Some other countries, including Canada and the United Kingdom, are relaxing or lifting restrictions for vaccinated Americans to travel.

The United States currently bars most non-U.S. citizens who within the last 14 days have been in the United Kingdom, the 26 Schengen nations in Europe without border controls, Ireland, China, India, South Africa, Iran and Brazil.

fran_chambers Keep up asking Jen about the travel ban ! The ban is very inconsistent. People have been separated from loved ones for too long. Not only that people have been banned to going to their vacation homes and check on their investments. Time to move forward.

How about requiering vaccination of foreign 'inlegales' entering from the south. Something is rotten in the White House.

this will affect tourism baddly

The fact is Biden allowed the DeltaVariant into the USA from Overseas~ Just like Trump did with Initial Covid19 SARSCoV2 Elected Officials ALWAYS put Money over People, Then blame the ppl for coming down sick.

Mandatory vaccine for visitors, I won’t be traveling or visiting then. Sorry Brazil and Africa, because if I leave to visit you then I will have to stay because I trust in God’s power not a man’s optccine 🥺😩.

Does “foreign visitors “ include al those illegals pouring into America at our southern border?

Why cant POTUS say only vaccinated are allowed within US just like only vaccinated are allowed to go to restaurants in NYC.. Ohh wait, then DHSgov must close southern border and allow travel from India.. How is that acceptable for a lobby driven xenophobic admin ? +

DavidBegnaud But probably not for the illegal foreign ones crossing our border. We are witnessing, and unfortunately are stuck with the consequences, of the worst, most incapable, dangerous leadership ever in the USA.

Goodnight America and good luck.

McDonald's makes masks mandatory for some U.S. customers, staff (Aug. 2)(Reuters) -McDonald's Corp on Monday confirmed that all its customers and staff will need to start wearing masks again inside its U.S. restaurants in areas with high or substantial transmission, regardless of whether they are vaccinated or not. The resurgence of COVID-19 cases in the United States due to the Delta variant and the new guidance from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) that requires fully vaccinated individuals to wear masks have led companies to change their plans on vaccinations and masking. Last week, major companies including Alphabet Inc's Google, Uber Technologies Inc and Facebook Inc said all their U.S. employees must get vaccinated to step into offices. I just went to Tommy’s and practically had the restaurant to myself! I wore a mask. coronavirus Lol our McDonald's dining areas aren't even open. Drive through only. This is so weird. A fast-food giant is more sane than some Republican governors.
