New Covid Rules Ban Some U.S. Entries
A travel ban barring entry for non-U.S. travelers who have been in the UK, Ireland, the EU’s Schengen Area, Brazil and South America took effect this week.

A travel ban issued by the Biden Administration barring entry for non-U.S. travelers who have been in the UK, Ireland, the EU’s Schengen Area, Brazil, China, or Iran within 14 days of their intended arrival was instituted this week in an attempt to limit the spread of more virulent strains of the Covid-19 virus. A similar ban will be imposed on South Africa-situated travelers starting this Saturday. According to IBAC, crew travel in support of operations remains exempt, but the organization recommends coordinating with airlines for the movement of crews around the globe.
