International Travel Returns!

The 20-month-old travel ban ends Nov. 8 for fully-vaccinated international visitors from over 33 countries. The new travel system essentially drops the travel ban that has prevented most inbound travel from foreign countries – including most European Union member states, the United Kingdom, Canada, and China.
