President Joe Biden issued a Proclamation on air travel Monday, providing new guidance on the country’s upcoming changes to its COVID-19 entry rules.
Key Points:
Additional Information: The U.S. will also change entry rules for land travel on Nov. 8. The CDC has confirmed that for purposes of entering the country, the U.S. will accept COVID-19 vaccines that are approved or authorized by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) or listed for emergency use by the World Health Organization (WHO). In general, travelers will be considered “fully vaccinated” two weeks after their second dose of a two-dose vaccine or two weeks after a single-dose vaccine.
BAL Analysis: The current entry restrictions will remain in place until Nov. 8. Between now and Nov. 8, the CDC is expected to issue specific guidance that clarifies what forms of proof of vaccination travelers must present, required information for contact tracing and the full list of requirements for unvaccinated travelers. The government must also issue additional guidance on the process for obtaining an exemption. Employers and employees should continue to consult their BAL professional before planning any international travel.
BAL attorneys will be speaking at a webinar on “Lifting the Travel Bans, Holiday Travel & Planning: What to Expect in the Coming Months” on Nov. 2 at 1 p.m. CT.
