Starting from today, the United States have opened the gates for international trvel ending its air travel ban for 33 countries including India and opening it land borders to Canada and Mexico. 

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has stated that foreign travellers to the US must be fully vaccinated against Covid-19 and are required to show a negative test result at the time of boarding.

You’re considered fully vaccinated two weeks after you have received an accepted single-dose vaccine or the full series of a double-dose vaccine. Vaccines approved by the FDA or the WHO for Emergency Use are acceptable, which includes both Covishield and Covaxin.

Those vaccinated can show a negative Covid-19 test result taken up to three days before travel. Those not fully vaccinated will only be allowed in exceptional cases such as children under 18 years of age, foreign diplomats or those who participated in vaccine trials. In such cases, a negative Covid-19 test result taken a day prior to travel is mandatory.

Children under two years of age are not required to test.

Self-quarantine is only required for those not fully vaccinated and travel to the US in exceptional cases
