Coronavirus Updates

The u.s. lifts the pandemic travel ban and opens the doors to international visitors.

The Associated Press

Passengers walk through Salt Lake City International Airport, Oct. 27, 2020. More than a year and a half after COVID-19 concerns prompted the U.S. to close its borders to international travelers from countries including Brazil, China, India, South Africa, the U.K. and much of Europe, restrictions are shifting to focus on vaccine status.

Passengers walk through Salt Lake City International Airport, Oct. 27, 2020. More than a year and a half after COVID-19 concerns prompted the U.S. to close its borders to international travelers from countries including Brazil, China, India, South Africa, the U.K. and much of Europe, restrictions are shifting to focus on vaccine status.

The U.S. lifted restrictions Monday on travel from a long list of countries including Mexico, Canada and most of Europe, allowing tourists to make long-delayed trips and family members to reconnect with loved ones after more than a year and a half apart because of the pandemic.

Starting Monday, the U.S. is accepting fully vaccinated travelers at airports and land borders, doing away with a COVID-19 restriction that dates back to the Trump administration. The new rules allow air travel from previously restricted countries as long as the traveler has proof of vaccination and a negative COVID-19 test. Land travel from Mexico and Canada will require proof of vaccination but no test.

Airlines are expecting more travelers from Europe and elsewhere. Data from travel and analytics firm Cirium showed airlines are increasing flights between the United Kingdom and the U.S. by 21% this month over last month.

The change will have a profound effect on the borders with Mexico and Canada, where traveling back and forth was a way of life until the pandemic hit and the U.S. shut down nonessential travel.

Malls, restaurants and Main Street shops in U.S. border towns have been devastated by the lack of visitors from Mexico. On the boundary with Canada, cross-border hockey rivalries were community traditions until being upended by the pandemic. Churches that had members on both sides of the border are hoping to welcome parishioners they haven't seen during COVID-19 shutdown.

Loved ones have missed holidays, birthdays and funerals while nonessential air travel was barred, and they are now eager to reconnect.

River Robinson's American partner wasn't able to be in Canada for the birth of their baby boy 17 months ago because of pandemic-related border closures. She was thrilled to hear the U.S. is reopening its land crossings to vaccinated travelers.

"I'm planning to take my baby down for the American Thanksgiving," said Robinson, who lives in St. Thomas, Ontario. "If all goes smoothly at the border I'll plan on taking him down as much as I can. Is crazy to think he has a whole other side of the family he hasn't even met yet."

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the U.S. will accept travelers who have been fully vaccinated with any of the vaccines approved for emergency use by the World Health Organization, not just those in use in the U.S. That means that the AstraZeneca vaccine, widely used in Canada, will be accepted.

For air travelers, the airlines are required to verify vaccine records and match them against ID, and if they don't, they could face fines of up to nearly $35,000 per violation. Airlines will also collect information about passengers for contact tracing efforts. There will be CDC workers spot-checking travelers for compliance in the U.S. At land borders, Customs and Border Protection agents will check vaccine proof.

The moves come as the U.S. has seen its COVID-19 outlook improve dramatically in recent weeks since the summer delta surge that pushed hospitals to the brink in many locations.

Questions and answers on COVID-19: Travelling

1. what precautions should i take if i need to travel.

Travellers should consult the national policies of their destination country, as well as policies set by their transport provider prior to travel. 

Standard prevention measures to control the spread of COVID-19 that may be recommended during travel include:

• do not travel if exhibiting symptoms compatible with COVID-19
• practice physical distancing (a distance of one to two metres from others)
• follow respiratory etiquette (coughing and sneezing into a tissue or elbow) and good hand hygiene (washing hands with soap and water regularly or using alcohol-based hand sanitisers)
• use a face mask (preferably a medical face mask or FFP2 respirator) in situations where physical distancing cannot be maintained.

Travellers who develop any symptoms compatible with COVID-19 during or after travel should self-isolate and seek medical advice and test for SARS-CoV-2 to exclude a diagnosis of COVID-19.

2. What is the risk of infection with SARS-CoV-2 when travelling?

There may be a risk of infection with SARS-CoV-2 while travelling, so standard prevention measures should be followed.

ECDC, in collaboration with other relevant EU agencies, has developed joint guidance for the  aviation ,  cruise  ship and  railway  sectors for use during the pandemic, including advice on non-pharmaceutical interventions while travelling, the cleaning and disinfection of premises and managing a COVID-19 case on board.

Safe travel between European countries

In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, and subsequent travel restrictions put in place by Member States to protect public health, the EU introduced measures to facilitate safe travel while limiting the propagation of the virus and protecting the health and well-being of all Europeans:

Facilitating travel within the EU during the COVID-19 pandemic

During the COVID-19 pandemic, EU Member States took various measures to restrict travel in order to limit the spread of coronavirus. To ensure coordination and clear communication across the EU, the Commission worked on fostering cooperation and exchange of information regarding such restrictions.

On 13 October 2020, on the basis of a Commission proposal, the Council adopted a Recommendation on a coordinated approach to the restriction of free movement in response to the COVID-19 pandemic . The recommendation aimed to avoid fragmentation and disruption, and to increase transparency and predictability for citizens and businesses. More specifically, it established a common approach on the following key points:

The application of common criteria and thresholds when deciding whether to introduce travel restrictions

Mapping of the risk areas of COVID-19 transmission based on common conditions and an agreed colour code, published by the European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control

A common framework for measures applied to travellers from high-risk areas

Coordination among Member States and clear and timely information to the public about any restrictions

The Council recommendation was updated multiple times in response to the developments of the pandemic. This included establishing standard validity periods for tests of COVID-19 infection.

Another important tool to facilitate safe travel within the EU, was the EU Digital COVID Certificate Regulation , which entered into force on 1 July 2021. The Certificate served as proof that a person was vaccinated against COVID-19, had recently received a negative test result or recovered from COVID-19. When travelling, every Certificate holder would have the same rights as citizens of the visited Member State who were vaccinated, tested or recovered from COVID-19. As such, the regulation aimed at facilitating the gradual lifting of travel restrictions put in place by the Member States.

Used by most Member States from its launch in 2021 until mid-2022, the EU Digital COVID Certificate was a major success in Europe’s efforts to address and mitigate the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on societies and economies. With more than 2.3 billion certificates issued, it was crucial to support free movement and Europe’s hard-hit tourism industry. As the epidemiological situation improved, requirements to hold EU Digital COVID Certificates for intra-EU travel decreased. On 29 June 2022, to ensure continued travel in the case of a significant worsening of the epidemiological situation, the EU Digital COVID Certificate Regulation was extended until 30 June 2023. By August 2022, all Member States had lifted all intra-EU travel restrictions.

On 5 May 2023, the World Health Organization declared the end of the COVID-19 pandemic as a public health emergency of international concern. Reflecting this situation, the Commission did not propose a further extension of the EU Digital COVID Certificate Regulation beyond 30 June 2023. Since 1 July 2023, the regulation and accompanying Council recommendation are no longer in force.

The positive impact of the EU Digital COVID Certificate system extended beyond the EU, as it became a global standard firmly based on the EU’s values of openness, security and data protection. Overall, 78 countries across five continents benefited from the system. This success contributed to the resumption of safe international travel and global recovery. The World Health Organization has decided to take up the EU system of digital COVID-19 certification to establish a global system that will help protect citizens across the world from on-going and future health threats, including pandemics.

For more information about the possible future use of the underlying technology, see EU Digital COVID Certificate .

Travel from non-EU countries to the EU

Early on during the pandemic, on 16 March 2020, the Commission adopted a Communication recommending a temporary restriction of non-essential travel from third countries into the EU . On 17 March 2020, Member States agreed to implement the temporary restriction, with the four Schengen Associated States also implementing it.

On 30 June 2020, following a proposal from the Commission on the 11 June, the Council adopted a recommendation on the gradual lifting of the temporary restrictions on non-essential travel into the EU . The Council recommendation was updated multiple times in response to the developments of the pandemic.

During the period where restrictions for travel to the EU were in force, some exemptions were put in place to ensure free movement of citizens, goods and services – with full respect of health and safety measures. These can be consulted here:

Exemptions to coronavirus travel restrictions

Following the adoption of Council Recommendation (EU) 2022/2548 of 13 December 2022 , Member States should impose no restrictions on travel on the grounds of public health due to the COVID-19 pandemic. However, EU countries have put in place some safeguards in case of a deteriorating epidemiological situation or appearance of a new variant of concern.

• COVID-19 travel advice

Lower your risk of COVID-19 as you travel for a safe and fun adventure.

Successful travel starts with being prepared for the unexpected. Coronavirus disease 2019, known as COVID-19, is now a part of standard travel planning.

As you choose a destination, travel group or event, add COVID-19 to the list of things to research. When packing for yourself or anyone you're caring for on the trip, consider COVID-19 prevention and testing.

No one wants to plan for the worst. But having a plan in case you catch the COVID-19 virus while traveling can save time if you need medical care.

To start, it can help to ask these basic questions as you make plans.

Am I up to date with my COVID-19 vaccine?

Staying up to date on your COVID-19 vaccine helps prevent serious illness, the need for hospital care and death due to COVID-19 .

If you need a vaccine, plan to get it at least a few weeks before you travel. Protection from the vaccine isn't immediate.

Am I, a travel companion or a person I live with at high risk of serious COVID-19 illness?

Many people with COVID-19 have no symptoms or mild illness. But for older adults and people of any age with certain medical conditions, COVID-19 can lead to the need for care in the hospital or death.

If you or those around you are at high risk of serious COVID-19 illness, take extra safety measures during or after travel.

Ask a healthcare professional if there are any specific actions you should take.

Does my destination, tour group or event need proof that I had a COVID-19 vaccine? Do I need to show proof of a negative COVID-19 test?

The country you travel to may not need to know your COVID-19 status. But you might need the information for other reasons.

Events, venues or tour groups might require proof that you are COVID-19 negative or are up to date on a COVID-19 vaccine. Check before you go so you have all the paperwork you need.

What's the plan if I get COVID-19 on my trip?

No one wants to get sick while traveling. But in case you do, it helps to know where you can get medical care and whether you'll be able to stay apart from others while you have symptoms.

Put together a COVID-19 kit with rapid home tests, masks, a thermometer, disinfectant wipes and hand sanitizer that contains at least 60% alcohol.

Before you leave, gather health information from your healthcare professional. Make sure it gives the details on any health conditions you're managing and medicine you take.

COVID-19 spread during travel

The virus that causes COVID-19 spreads mainly from person to person. When the virus is spreading, spending time indoors with a crowd of people raises your risk of catching it. The risk is higher if the indoor space has poor airflow.

The coronavirus is carried by a person's breath.

The virus spreads when a person with COVID-19 breathes, coughs, sneezes, sings or talks. The droplets or particles the infected person breathes out could possibly be breathed in by other people if they are close together or in areas with low airflow.

The virus carried by a person's breath can land directly on the face of a nearby person, after a sneeze or cough, for example. And people may touch a surface that has respiratory droplets and then touch their faces with hands that have the coronavirus on them.

Clean hands

While you travel, one way to lower your risk of COVID-19 is to clean your hands often.

Wash your hands after using the bathroom, before making food or eating, and after coughing, sneezing or blowing your nose. If you touch something that others regularly touch, such as an elevator button or a handrail, make sure to clean your hands afterward.

Also, try to avoid touching your eyes, nose or mouth.

Wearing a face mask is another way to lower your risk of COVID-19 .

Travel brings people together from areas where viruses may be spreading at higher levels. Masks can help slow the spread of respiratory viruses in general, including the COVID-19 virus.

Masks help the most in places with low airflow and where you are in close contact with other people. Also, masks can help if viruses are spreading at high levels in the places you travel to or through.

Masking is especially important if you or a companion have a high risk of serious COVID-19 illness. Choose the most protective mask that fits well and is comfortable.

Get the COVID-19 vaccine

As the virus that causes COVID-19 changes, COVID-19 vaccines are updated, so stay up to date with the recommended shots.

Know when the COVID-19 virus is spreading in your area

Check with health agencies in the area to see where the COVID-19 virus is spreading. Information about the spread of the virus may include the number of people in the hospital with COVID-19 or the number of people who test positive for the disease.

Keep some space around you

Choose outdoor activities and keep some distance between yourself and others. Poor airflow plus lots of people crowded together equals a higher chance you'll come in contact with the virus that causes COVID-19 .

If you can, try to avoid spending time with people who have COVID-19 symptoms or who are sick.

There will likely be times during travel when you don't have a choice about how close you are to others. Here are some tips for air travel, public transportation and lodging.

The risk of catching the virus that causes COVID-19 from air travel is thought to be low.

Air in the plane's cabin changes over quickly during the flight, being replaced every few minutes in some planes. Airplane air also is often filtered. So germs, including viruses, are trapped before they spread.

The air flowing down from vents above the seats in each row may help keep germs from spreading. Seats also may act as a barrier to germ spread on a plane, unless the person who is ill is sitting close to you.

You can help lower your risk by spreading out to keep distance between you and others when you can and cleaning your hands regularly.

Wearing a mask in crowded areas, such as security lines and bathrooms, can help protect you from COVID-19 and other respiratory illnesses.

Trains, buses and cars

Trains and buses may have good airflow and air filtering. But check before you travel so you know what to expect. When a vehicle is crowded, wear a face mask and take other steps, such as cleaning your hands.

Taxis and private cars used for ride-sharing may not have air filtering. But in most cases, rolling down a window could be an option to improve airflow.

Rental car companies may post their cleaning policies on the internet, or you can ask directly when you book the vehicle.

Hotels and other lodging

Cleaning protocols at hotels, vacation rentals and other lodging have largely returned to the way they were before the COVID-19 pandemic. If you have questions about how hosts or businesses protect guests, contact them directly. In public areas of hotels, take steps to lower your risk of catching the virus that causes COVID-19 .

Put safety first

Despite your planning, an illness may delay or cancel your trip. Stay home if you or anyone you're traveling with has:

• Symptoms of COVID-19 , such as fever or new loss of taste or smell.
• Taken a COVID-19 test and is waiting for results.
• Been diagnosed with COVID-19 .

Keep watch for serious symptoms of COVID-19 , such as trouble breathing or chest pain. If you or a person you're taking care of has symptoms that worry you, get help.

Once the fever is gone and symptoms are getting better, you may choose to travel. But for about five days after feeling better, you could still give others the virus that causes COVID-19 . Take extra actions to protect the people around you.

• Wear a mask.
• Keep your distance from others, especially when indoors.
• Clean your hands regularly.
• Keep the air flowing by turning on fans or opening windows when you can.

If you start to feel worse or your fever comes back, avoid being around others again until you feel better.

Stay flexible

With COVID-19 vaccinations, testing and treatment, events and travel are back to typical levels in many places. But as waves of COVID-19 outbreaks happen, it's important to stay flexible with your plans. Knowing whether the COVID-19 virus is spreading in your area or in places where you're traveling can help you make decisions about whether to go and what to put on your agenda.

What do Americans need to enter Europe?

European countries with no covid restrictions, do you need to be vaccinated to enter europe, can unvaccinated people travel to europe, americans returning to the u.s. from europe, are you nervous about travel plans going awry, if you’re planning to travel to europe.

The landscape of travel changed forever when COVID-19 entered the scene. Now, years later, we’re still dealing with the ongoing effects of the pandemic. Along with travel restrictions and ever-evolving entry requirements, travelers have to plan for plenty of unexpected changes.

So, can Americans travel to Europe? Happily, yes, as all of Europe's countries have reopened to tourism.

U.S. citizens can generally enter most European countries for business or tourism without a visa. If traveling within the Schengen zone, which comprises 29 countries, Americans can stay for up to 90 days within any 180 day period.

For countries outside the Schengen zone , you’ll need to verify the individual entry requirements and apply for a visa, if needed.

The European Travel Information and Authorisation System, or ETIAS , which will pre-screen travelers entering the EU, is not yet operational. When it is, travelers will need to complete a form and pay a fee prior to entry.

Countries within Europe have completely dropped COVID entry requirements. Countries without any restrictions include but aren't limited to:

Liechtenstein.

Luxembourg.

Switzerland.

Americans can also travel without COVID restrictions to the United Kingdom.

No. At the time of this writing, all European countries require no form of vaccination or COVID testing to gain entry.

Instead, these countries have reverted to pre-COVID entry measures, which primarily include having a valid passport with room for stamps.

» Learn more: Where can U.S. citizens travel right now?

Most countries within Europe will currently allow unvaccinated travelers to enter, though it’s always a good idea to keep your eye on entry requirements as they can change on a dime.

Depending on where you’re going, you may need to provide a negative COVID test or proof of recovery in order to enter the country. What the proof looks like can vary, so you’ll need to consult the country’s requirements to ensure you meet the regulations.

If you need to show proof of a negative COVID test, there are two different kinds that are commonly accepted for travel into the EU. You’ll want to check the individual requirements of the country to see which you can use:

A valid negative molecular test . These types of tests are generally either called a PCR or NAAT test. They often take a few days for results to arrive because they’re processed in a laboratory.

A valid negative rapid test . Accepted by fewer countries — or accepted within a tighter window than a molecular test — these antigen or TRAg rapid tests can provide results within minutes.

Since June 12, 2022, those traveling by air no longer need to provide a negative COVID test in order to enter the United States.

9 Beauty Essentials That Saved Me on My Trip to Europe

Us Weekly has affiliate partnerships. We receive compensation when you click on a link and make a purchase. Learn more!

Traveling abroad is a dream, but prepping for your trip can be a nightmare. Ultimately, you have to pick your priorities so you don’t exceed the luggage weight limits. Having just returned from a trip to Europe, I now know which beauty products I need to have on me at all times.

From haircare holy grails to makeup must-haves, these staples saved me while I was overseas. Keep your skin smooth, your hair frizz-free and your glam locked in place with these nine beauty essentials!

Coco and Eve Self-Tanner Kit

As a seasoned self-tanner with a propensity for paleness, I can’t just go on a getaway and hope to get naturally tan like everyone else. Instead, I have to apply my color artificially ahead of time. Fake it ’til you make it! But since my most recent trip was longer than usual, I knew I needed to pack self-tanner with me for touch-ups.

Coco & Eve’s self-tanner kit saved the day! When my tan started slowly fading, I added on another layer of mousse to keep my sun-kissed look going strong. Plus, this formula smells like a tropical vacation!

Hero Cosmetics Pimple Patches

Of course a pimple decided to pop up when I was enjoying my European holiday! Worst timing. But luckily, I had my handy Hero Cosmetics pimple patches on hand!

These translucent hydrocolloid stickers help reduce blemishes and absorb acne gunk. I use them overnight or during the day to cover my pimples in public.

Utena Hair Styling Stick

Temperatures were in the upper 90s in Italy, so the heat and humidity wreaked havoc on my hair! Updos became my go-to move to fight frizz.

This small styling stick was my secret weapon, taming flyaways for a sleek, slicked-back look that stayed in place. And unlike other wax sticks on the market, this one won’t leave behind as much sticky residue.

Remington Curling Wand

This Remington curling wand has been my tried-and-true hair tool for years! I love my Dyson Airwrap, but sadly it doesn’t work in Europe (learned that lesson the hard way on my last trip). This lightweight wand delivers reliable waves without breaking the bank.

Charlotte Tilbury Hydrating Foundation Stick

Charlotte tilbury.

I made the mistake of using a full-coverage foundation on a hot afternoon in Italy. My face quickly became a streaky, sweaty mess!

The next day, I switched to this Charlotte Tilbury foundation stick, and the results were remarkable! The light formula gave my complexion a dewy glow while smoothing my skin.

Sick of staining sheets with your spray tan? This Tan Fan Sleep Sac is a game-changer! It’s essentially a satin sleeping bag that prevents self-tanner from rubbing off on your bedding. Genius! I brought this Sleep Sac with me to Europe so I wouldn’t destroy the hotel’s sheets.

Jet lag is no joke! These bestselling eye masks from Grace & Stella revived my tired under-eyes so I could look alert and awake after a long flight. Bye-bye, eye bags!

I’m a U.S. Citizen. Where in the World Can I Go?

For Americans eager to resume international travel, here are the countries that currently allow U.S. citizens to enter, though there may be restrictions, including vaccine requirements.

By Paige McClanahan

This list is no longer being updated. Find the latest coronavirus updates here .

Most of the world’s countries are open to travelers from the United States, and many nations are easing their requirements for visitors to test or quarantine. Some countries that had fully closed to foreign tourists — including Israel, Morocco, Bhutan, Australia and New Zealand — have now reopened to U.S. visitors, although they may continue to impose testing, vaccination or quarantine requirements.

In Europe, a growing number of nations — including Germany, Greece, Italy, Ireland, Switzerland and the United Kingdom, among many others — have eliminated their Covid-related travel restrictions for the summer travel season. Meanwhile, several Southeast Asian nations that had closed their borders to tourists have now reopened. Laos, Thailand, Vietnam, Indonesia, Malaysia, Myanmar and Cambodia are once again welcoming American visitors, although vaccine or testing requirements are in force in most cases.

For its part, the United States has lifted the requirement that inbound passengers, including returning Americans, provide a negative test result taken within one day of departure. The decision to lift the test requirement will be re-evaluated in September; the rule could be reinstated if authorities deem it necessary.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, meanwhile, continues advising Americans not to travel internationally until they are fully inoculated against Covid-19.

Those wanting to learn about the coronavirus risk in a specific country can visit the C.D.C. website where a four-tier ranking system provides guidance. The agency reserves the highest “Level 4” ranking for countries with “special circumstances” that include spiking case numbers, the emergence of worrying variants, or threats to the viability of health care infrastructure. (Levels 1 to 3 are still based primarily on Covid-19 case counts.) At the moment, no countries are classified at Level 4; those at Level 3, which have a “high” incidence of Covid-19, are indicated in the list below. For information on entry requirements like testing and quarantine, as well as curfews and movement restrictions, the State Department’s website offers detailed information by country.

What follows is a list of countries that are open to tourists from the United States.
