The United States will reopen its borders on a non-trivial tour next month, ending the 19-month cold due to the COVID-19 epidemic as the country demands that all international visitors be vaccinated against coronavirus.
Traffic, trains and boats within the U.S. Canada and Mexico have also been severely restricted from important travel, such as trade, since the early days of the epidemic. The new rules, which will be announced on Wednesday, will allow fully vaccinated immigrants to enter the United States without a reason to leave since the beginning of November, when similar reductions are expected to begin flying across the country. By mid-January, even key travelers seeking to enter the U.S., as truck drivers, will need to be fully vaccinated.
Top management officials reviewed the new policy on Tuesday in a state of anonymity before it was officially announced.
Both Mexico and Canada have pressured the U.S. for months to reduce travel restrictions that have divided families and reduced travel since the epidemic began. The latest move follows last month's announcement that the U.S. It will put an end to the ban on air travel in the country, and replace it with the need to vaccinate foreigners who want to fly by air.
Both policies will take effect in early November, officials said. They did not say a day.
The new rules apply only to the legalization of US authorities and warned that those seeking illegal entry would face expulsion under the so-called Title 42, first imposed by former President Donald Trump, which has drawn criticism from immigration lawyers for removing immigrants before seeking asylum. One official says the U.S. It continued with the policy because overcrowded conditions at border patrols pose a threat to COVID-19.(ads2)
According to officials, travelers entering the U.S. By car, train and boat they will be asked about their immunization status as part of the normal US Customs and Border Protection admission process. At the discretion of the police, visitors will be assured of proof of vaccination in the second screening process.
Unlike air travel, which requires proof of an illegal COVID-19 test before boarding a U.S. airplane, no tests will be required to enter the U.S. by land or sea, as long as travelers meet vaccination requirements.
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the US will accept travelers who are fully vaccinated against any vaccine approved by the World Health Organization, not just those used in the US. .
Officials say the CDC is still working on legal procedures to accept those who receive doses of two different doses, as was the norm in Canada.
Delays in the need for vaccinations on important cross-border trips are intended to give truck drivers and others more time to acquire firearms and reduce economic disruption from the vaccination authority, officials said.
All told, new processes are moving forward in a process based on human risk profiles, rather than restrictions that have reduced the country.
The need for foreign immunizations comes as the White House is moved to set vaccination or testing requirements affecting about 100 million people in the U.S. in an effort to encourage participants to get shots.
On Tuesday, the U.S. Department of Labor finalized the first draft of an emergency regulation that would require employers of 100 or more workers to require their employees to be vaccinated against COVID-19 or to be tested weekly. The Office of Administration and Budget is now reviewing the order before its implementation.
Mexico has not set the COVID-19 entry procedures for travelers. Canada allows full immunizations with COVID-19 vaccine evidence and evidence of a malignant trial conducted within 72 hours of entering the country.
