US to lift travel ban on eight African countries next week
The United States government has announced that the travel ban imposed on eight southern African countries will be lifted on December 31.
In November, the US announced that foreigners who have travelled to eight southern African countries within the last 14 days will not be allowed to enter the country over concerns related to the Omicron COVID variant.
The affected countries are South Africa, Botswana, Eswatini, Lesotho, Malawi, Mozambique, Zambia and Zimbabwe.
The index case of Omicron was detected in South Africa and the World Health Organisation (WHO) subsequently designated Omicron as a “variant of concern”.
On Dec. 31, @POTUS will lift the temporary travel restrictions on Southern Africa countries. This decision was recommended by @CDCgov. The restrictions gave us time to understand Omicron and we know our existing vaccines work against Omicron, esp boosted. https://t.co/NdRTtntRuE
