The government of USA has announced that it will allow the entry of travelers from the United Kingdom and the European Union that they are vaccinated with the complete regimen in early November.
In addition to the corresponding vaccination certificate, you must present a negative test result of Covid-19 carried out within the three days prior to the displacement.
The measure, which was announced this Monday at a virtual press conference, will put end to the restrictions imposed a year and a half ago and will also affect vaccinated international travelers from Brazil, China, India, Iran, and South Africa.
Current policy in the United States only allows travelers who have been to Europe and much of Asia who are U.S. citizens, immediate family members, green card holders or who have national interest exemptions.

Jeff Zients, White House Covid Response Coordinator , he spoke of the future guidelines but did not specify if all vaccines would be accepted, or if so, which ones, explaining that the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC for its acronym in English) will be in charge of making that decision.
Passengers vaccinated with the full schedule will not be subject to quarantine upon arrival in the United States and unvaccinated US citizens should be tested one day before returning and another day upon arrival in their country.
The CDC will also require airlines to collect contact information from international travelers to facilitate tracking, information that must be kept for 30 days.
"This will allow the CDC and state and local public health officials to a follow-up of incoming travelers and the people around them in the event that someone has been potentially exposed to COVID-19 and other pathogens," Zients said.
