These are the new rules for traveling to the US, for whom will it be more difficult?

The changes announced by Washington will take effect in November.

The United States announced this Wednesday, October 13, that its land borders with Mexico and Canada will soon be open to tourism again, as long as those who enter show that they are fully vaccinated against Covid-19. However, those traveling for essential reasons, such as students or carriers, will be able to cross the border regardless of their vaccination status until the beginning of January 2022.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention also recalled that a person is considered vaccinated who has the complete scheme against Covid-19, two weeks after the second dose or the single dose.

The change announced by Washington will take effect in November. Until now, entry into the country from Mexico and Canada was only allowed by air and presenting a negative Covid-19 test.

The decision to allow vaccinated people access to the country comes after months of pressure from Mexico and Canada, who expressed concern about the socioeconomic consequences of the border restrictions. Mexico accepted foreign arrivals by air without proof or vaccination documents, while Canada recently reopened air access to the country and its land border in recent weeks.

It is still not entirely clear how the change will work for Americans who enter from these two countries by land, because although the issue is not addressed in the statement, it is emphasized that the requirement will be for "foreign travelers who arrive (to the country ) ".

But this is not the only change to consider. The United States also reported that since November only vaccinated international travelers will be allowed to enter the country, who must also present a Covid-19 test with a negative result and taken three days before their flight. In other words, for those who do not have the vaccination scheme, traveling to the United States will not be possible.

Passengers will also need to provide their full contact information upon arrival in the United States to keep track of travelers who have been exposed to other variants of Covid-19.
