E.U. Plans to Bar Most U.S. Travelers When Bloc Reopens
Europe will allow outsiders to begin entering again on July 1, but the
U.S. and Russia are now among the nations considered too risky because
they have not controlled the coronavirus outbreak.
BRUSSELS — The European Union is ready to bar most travelers from the
United States, Russia, and dozens of other countries considered too
risky because they have not controlled the coronavirus outbreak, E.U.
officials said Friday.
By contrast, travelers from more than a dozen countries that are not overwhelmed by the coronavirus are set to be welcomed when the bloc
reopens after months of lockdown on July 1. The acceptable countries
also include China — but only if China allows European Union travelers
to visit as well, the officials said.
The list of safe countries was completed by E.U. senior diplomats in
Brussels after tortuous negotiations on how to reopen the 27-member bloc
to commerce and tourism under a common set of standards after months of lockdown.
