The American dream has never been closer, after nearly two years since the start of the new coronavirus pandemic. This is because those who wished to travel to the United States but were impeded due to the restrictions for the containment of the pandemic have received good news from the American government: the reopening of their borders to be to take place at the beginning of November. The good news, announced by Jeffrey Zients, counselor to the president of the United States, is valid for foreigners that have already been vaccinated. Up to the present moment, the American government has not divulged if it will accept all the vaccines.
According to the White House, the decision about which immunizers will be accepted is up to the Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) of the United States. According to Jeff Zients, the person directly responsible for the fight against Covid-19 in the USA, before embarkation, travellers must present proof of complete vaccination. Furthermore, a test with a negative result, taken at most three days before embarkation, will be required.
It’s worth noting that, according to American authorities, travellers will not need to fulfill any type of quarantine on arrival at the United States. However, the CDC has informed that it will require that the airlines collect contact data, such as phone number and e-mail, from passengers traveling to the USA, with the aim of contacting them in a possible case of exposure to the coronavirus during the flight.
According to the current rules, Brazilians may enter American soil only if they have not passed through Brazil on the last 14 days prior to the trip.
