The United States of America is not on a “safe list” of destinations for non-essential travel due to be unveiled by European Union governments.
As per the diplomats said. The European Union bloc is expected to give outline approval to leisure or business travel from Wednesday (today) to 14 countries beyond its borders when they vote on the list by midday Brussels time (1000 GMT).
The countries are Algeria, Australia, Canada, Georgia, Japan, Montenegro, Morocco, New Zealand, Rwanda, Serbia, South Korea, Thailand, Tunisia and Uruguay, diplomats also said.
China has also been provisionally approved, although travel would only open up if Chinese authorities also allowed in EU visitors. Reciprocity is a condition of being on the list.
Russia, Brazil and Turkey, along with the United States, are among countries whose containment of the virus is considered worse than the EU average, and so will have to wait at least two weeks for approval.
The move is aimed at supporting the EU travel industry and tourist destinations, particularly countries in southern Europe hardest hit by the COVID-19 pandemic.
