Covid-19 vaccination: The United States will end its Covid-19 vaccination requirements for international travellers and federal workers on May 11, the White House said on Monday (local time).
In February, the US House of Representatives voted to lift the requirement that most foreign air travellers be vaccinated against Covid-19, one of the few remaining pandemic travel restrictions still in place.
The Biden administration last June dropped its requirement that people arriving in the US by air must test negative for Covid-19 but kept in place Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) vaccination requirements for most foreign travellers.
The rules barred Serbian tennis star Novak Djokovic from taking part in some US tournaments because he is not vaccinated against Covid-19, but from May 12 he could freely enter and play in major American tournaments like the US Open.
The Homeland Security Department also said on Monday that starting May 12, it will no longer require non-US travellers entering the United States via land ports of entry and ferries to be vaccinated against Corona and provide proof of vaccine upon request.
