State Department lifts COVID-19 travel advisory for Americans
Bloomberg News
,The Trump administration lifted a global advisory warning Americans against overseas travel because of the coronavirus pandemic, although many countries restrict Americans due to the high rates of infections in the U.S.
“The COVID-19 pandemic continues to affect countries differently,” the State Department said on its website as it lifted the global Level 4 advisory. Countries including Japan and Vietnam are now listed as Level 3 -- for “reconsider travel” -- rather than the blanket do-not-travel advisory.
Many other countries continue to bar Americans or subject them to quarantine on arrival.
