With the November 8 as the date The United States reopens its borders to international travelers, it is It is necessary for those who plan to visit the territory to be clear about the requirements that they must meet in order to enter the country.

So far, this is what is known.

– In immigration matters, those who have the necessary documents may enter the country to do so. This does not change from what has been required since before the pandemic.

– Fully vaccinated people can travel to the United States against covid – 19 , with any of the vaccines approved and authorized by the FDA and that appear on the World Health Organization Emergency Use List.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention considers a person fully vaccinated who received the second in a two-dose regimen two weeks ago, or who has received the drug for two weeks in the case of a single dose. In both cases, people must have the power to prove it with a official document of the country where they have been immunized .

Details about what will be considered a vaccination certificate are yet to be known valid.

These are approved vaccines and not approved to enter the United States.

– For unvaccinated Americans who wish to enter the United States, shall be screened for covid – 19 one day before their flight to the United States, and an additional one when they are in the country. Tests should be negative.

CNN asked the Department of Homeland Security, which indicated that the vaccination requirement will not apply to children who are not eligible to be vaccinated. It remains for the corresponding authorities to specify whether the regulations apply to American and foreign children. This international travel system greatly restricts entry into the United States for unvaccinated foreigners. There will be “very limited” exceptions, but details have not been disclosed yet.
