1:27 US Tightens Restriction on International Travel Due To Omicron
In response to the new Omicron variant of the COVID-19 virus and in an effort to stop the spread, the United States is restricting travel from certain countries in the African region exposed to the Omicron variant.
The new restriction started on 29 November 2021 and will remain in effect until terminated by the president.
The new rules come three weeks after the US lifted strict pandemic travel rules that prohibited entry to foreign visitors from the UK, Brazil, India, South Africa, and nearly 30 other nations.
…
2:44 Exemptions to the Travel Restriction
Previously, citizens of banned countries can apply for National Interest Exception (NIE) to travel to the US.
The new rule also includes a provision that allows the secretary of state and the DHS secretary
to lay out criteria that would set forth an NIE for those travelling from one of the eight African countries.
The NIE is limited to those seeking to provide vital support for critical infrastructure or those who provide vital support or executive direction for significant economic activity in the US.
…
3:42 Testing for International Travel
The United States intends to toughen testing requirements for international travellers, including both vaccinated and unvaccinated individuals.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) announced in a statement that officials are working on a plan that would require international travellers to be tested for Covid-19 within a day before their flight to the US.
Currently, fully vaccinated travellers can test for Covid-19 up to three days before their trip.
President Biden is also planning to extend the mask mandate until
mid-March.
Travellers are required to wear masks on airplanes, trains and buses and at airports and transit stations.
