Thanks to the tremendous progress that has been made in the fight against the virus, we can take this step
A government official said To ABC News.
So far, the US government has mandated coronavirus testing for foreign nationals traveling to America, regardless of vaccination. According to many, this was a serious drawback for American tourism, especially compared to other countries that had previously relaxed epidemiological rules.
Most European countries – including the UK, France, Germany, Greece and Italy – have already abolished testing requirements for entry before the summer tourist season. Elsewhere, for example, in Japan and South Korea, negative testing still needs to be offered to help control the omicron variant that occurs even in inoculated places in most places.
