U.S. to Allow Fully Vaccinated Foreigners into the Country; No Quarantine Imposed

RaquelHarris September 20, 2021 News Leave a comment

The United States will now allow vaccinated foreigners to enter the country.

Starting in November, the gates allowing entry into the United States will be opened, per a new international air travel system.

“This vaccination requirement deploys the best tool we have in our arsenal to keep people safe and prevent the spread of the virus,” said White House COVID-19 Response Coordinator Jeff Zients. “Vaccines continue to show that they’re highly effective, including against the delta variant, and the new system allows us to implement strict protocols to prevent the spread of COVID-19.”

Not only will foreigners have to prove that they are fully vaccinated, but they will also have to take a mandatory COVID-19 test within three days of leaving for the States. The test will have to be negative to continue their trip. However, there is no quarantine guideline, but masks will have to be worn.

The Centers for Disease Control will be releasing a list of acceptable vaccination once the policy goes into effect, USA Today reports.

“This will enable CDC and state and local public health officials to follow up with inbound travelers and those around them as someone has potentially been exposed to COVID-19 or other pathogens,” Zients said. “(It) will also strengthen our public health surveillance system against any future public health threats.”
