US extends Covid travel restrictions until April

In contrast to a majority of countries worldwide, the United States still imposes Covid-19 related travel restrictions, which requires anyone entering the country to be fully vaccinated, and those without proof may be turned away. The US government had outlined plans to scrap these rules on January 8; however, subsequently, the Transport Security Association (TSA) announced they would be extending them until at least April 10. The rules apply to any non-American travellers wanting to visit the country and does not apply to unvaccinated US citizens or children under 17 years old. All airlines continue to be advised to check passengers’ proof of vaccination before departure and bar anyone without proof from boarding.
