The European Union announced\u00a0a replacement\u00a0recommendation that member nations should reinstate COVID-related travel restrictions on unvaccinated citizens from us\u00a0and five other countries.
According to CNN.com, the EU passed non-binding guidance for the 27-nation bloc\u00a0to get rid of\u00a0the U.S. from\u00a0an inventory\u00a0of nations\u00a0whose citizens can visit without additional coronavirus restrictions,\u00a0like\u00a0quarantine and testing requirements.
In addition to the U.S., Kosovo, Israel, Montenegro, Lebanon, and North Macedonia\u00a0are\u00a0far away from\u00a0the exemption list. The non-binding recommendations mean each individual country within the EU can decide whether\u00a0to permit\u00a0nonessential travel for fully vaccinated tourists.
Before the official guidance was released; several EU countries already had their own limits on American travelers. The U.S. government currently\u00a0doesn’t\u00a0allow European citizens\u00a0to go freely.
Austria and Croatia have instituted new rules for international travelers\u2014including Americans\u2014that places an expiration date on their vaccination status. Visitors must have received\u00a0the ultimate\u00a0dose of the vaccine no\u00a0quite\u00a0270 days before their arrival.
Earlier this month, the EU began preliminary discussions about restoring travel sanctions on the U.S.\u00a0because it\u00a0grapples with the Delta variant. To be eligible for the exempt list, the EU limit for foreign visitors\u00a0is not quite\u00a075 new COVID-19 cases per 100,000 inhabitants over the previous 14 days.
The U.S previously reported a rate\u00a0of just about\u00a0270 cases per 100,000 and increasing.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
