The Biden administration confirmed on Sept. 20 that it will direct the Department of Homeland Security to ease travel restrictions on COVID-19-vaccinated foreign visitors.

White House COVID-19 coordinator Jeff Zients said at a press conference that all foreign visitors need to be vaccinated and present proof of their vaccination before boarding a U.S.-bound flight. Those individuals also must show a negative COVID-19 test no later than 72 hours before flying, he said, noting that there will be no quarantine requirement.
