European Countries May Restrict American Visitors Again
August 30, 2021 ctn_admin
New York Times – The European Union is set to advise member states that they should reintroduce travel restrictions for visitors from the United States, three E.U. officials said on Sunday, as coronavirus infections and hospitalizations have surged in the U.S. in recent weeks.
Starting Monday, the officials said, the United States will be removed from a “safe list” of countries whose residents can travel to the 27-nation bloc without additional restrictions, such as quarantine and testing requirements. The suggested restrictions, made by the European Council, will not be mandatory for member countries, and it will remain up to those countries to decide whether or not to impose them.
Canadians weren’t mentioned in the story, but if Canada’s rates continue to climb it’s not inconceivable that the EU would change its mind about Canadian visitors.
