In August, the U.S. was removed from the European Union’s list of safe travel destinations. However, in September, the U.S. announced it is planning to ease restrictions for travelers from foreign nations including the U.K. and countries in the European Union as long as they’re fully vaccinated. And now, two other countries are set to have their U.S. travel restrictions lifted soon.
The United States is planning to open the Canadian and Mexican borders to fully vaccinated travelers in early November, according to CNN. Additionally, in January, this will also apply to all inbound foreign travelers.

“These new vaccination requirements deploy the best tool we have in our arsenal to keep people safe and prevent the spread of Covid-19 and will create a consistent, stringent protocol for all foreign nationals traveling into the United States whether by land or air,” a senior administration official told reporters, according to CNN.
