US lifts COVID restrictions for foreign travelers

The United States says it is opening its doors to travellers from a long list of countries that had been subject to previous pandemic restrictions.
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention CDC, the US will accept travellers who have been fully vaccinated with any of the vaccines approved for emergency use by the World Health Organization, WHO, not just those approved by US authorities.
Fully vaccinated travellers from Mexico, Canada, the United Kingdom and most of Europe, as well as China, India, South Africa, Iran and Brazil, will be allowed into the US at airports and land borders as the restrictions are lifted on Monday.
The lifting of restrictions come as the US has seen its COVID-19 outlook improve dramatically in recent weeks since the summer surge spurred by the Delta variant.
