Introduction
The United Kingdom and the United States have a long history of cooperation, and the two countries have been working closely together on the issue of travel restrictions during the COVID-19 pandemic.
The UK has been working to reopen its borders to American travelers, and the US has been slowly easing its restrictions on travel from the UK. The US government has said that it is working with the UK government to determine when it will be safe for American travelers to visit the UK again.
Here is the latest news on when US borders will open to UK.
Latest news on when US borders will open to UK
US President Joe Biden has said he will lift the travel ban on the UK “as soon as possible”. The President made the remarks during a virtual meeting with British Prime Minister Boris Johnson on Tuesday. It is not yet known when the US will lift the travel ban, but the UK is working to ensure that it happens as soon as possible.
What the UK needs to do to reopen its borders
The United States and United Kingdom have been working together to resolve the issue of opening their borders. The main obstacle has been the high rate of COVID-19 infections in the UK, which has led to a rise in cases in the US as well. However, the two countries are now close to reaching an agreement that would allow for the UK to open its borders to the US.
In order for this to happen, the UK needs to show that it has made progress in reducing its COVID-19 infection rate. Additionally, the UK needs to put in place a system that would track and quarantine any travelers who do come from the US. Once these measures are in place, it is likely that the US will open its borders to the UK.
When the US is planning to reopen its borders
The United States is planning to reopen its borders to UK travelers in the near future, according to latest news reports.
The US State Department said it was “evaluating” the possibility of allowing vaccinated American citizens to enter the country from the UK, after President Joe Biden lifted a travel ban on most European countries.
However, it is not yet clear when exactly the borders will open, and what the requirements for entry will be.
The State Department said in a statement: “We will continue to evaluate all relevant information, including CDC’s travel recommendations, in order to make an informed decision about when and how to lift restrictions.”
It is thought that the US may choose to open its borders to UK travelers before it does so for other European countries, as the UK has largely vaccinated its population and has a lower rate of Covid-19 cases.
However, this has not been confirmed by US officials.
In order to enter the United States, UK citizens will likely need to show proof of vaccination and a negative Covid-19 test.
Conclusion
The earliest date that the US and UK could reopen their borders is May 17, 2021, which is the date that the US is set to begin its travel ban on non-US citizens who have been in the UK within 14 days of their arrival. However, this date is provisional and dependent on the UK’s continued progress in reducing Covid-19 transmission rates.
