The EU Travel ‘Safe List’ Is Removing the United States Due to Coronavirus
The European Union (EU) is reportedly planning to recommend that its member nations reinstate restrictions on travelers from the U.S. due to the rising level of COVID-19 infections.
EU diplomats speaking to The Associated Press said the recommendation to reverse a June decision to lift restrictions on U.S. travelers could come as early as this week. However, the AP reports that any decision regarding this matter would be non-binding as the EU does not have a unified COVID-19 policy on tourism.
The Hill has reached out to the EU for further comment.
The criteria for allowing residents to travel into the EU for nonessential travel requires no more than 75 COVID-19 cases per 100,000 over the past two weeks.
