According to the White House, the USA has lifted the travel ban from India and other countries as of November 8th 2021.
“It is in the interests of the United States to move away from the country-by-country restrictions previously applied during the COVID-19 pandemic and to adopt an air travel policy that relies primarily on vaccination to advance the safe resumption of international air travel to the United States.”
Joe Biden, President of the United States.
The White House confirmed that minors (children under 18) and people with certain medical conditions are exempt from the new vaccine requirements.
Non-tourist travelers from around 50 countries with nationwide vaccination rates below 10% will also be exempt. Those exempted must be vaccinated if they plan to stay in the US for more than 60 days.
To “follow up with travelers who have been exposed to COVID-19 variants or other pathogens,” the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) issued new contact tracing rules on Monday.
Also, the CDC announced this month that it will accept mixed-dose coronavirus vaccines from travelers.
Airlines must confirm the last dose was at least two weeks before the travel date.
Rules for Indians traveling to the USA
Beginning November 8, unvaccinated US citizens and long-term residents will be required to submit a negative Covid test taken one day before reentering the US, and unvaccinated foreign people will be permitted to enter only in limited circumstances, an administration official said Monday.
Americans who are fully vaccinated will be required to undergo testing three days prior to flying.
For foreign nationals, the administration declared in September that it would need all visitors to be completely vaccinated prior to entering the country, but detailed exclusions on Monday.
Individuals traveling to the United States from countries with immunization rates below 10%, for example, will also be required to present a compelling cause for their visit, a senior administration official said. (ANI)
