The US will keep in place COVID-19 travel restrictions for foreigners due to the rising number of cases caused by the Delta variant, a White House official said Monday.
The decision to not lift the existing travel rules means non-US citizens from numerous countries, including the United Kingdom, China and India, are still barred from entering the US.
“Given where we are today with the Delta variant, the United States will maintain existing travel restrictions at this point,” the official told Reuters.
“Driven by the Delta variant, cases are rising here at home, particularly among those who are unvaccinated and appear likely to continue to increase in the weeks ahead.”

Democrats called it Xenophbia when President Trump called for this last year at the outbreak of Covid-19.
Racist! Zenophobic!! Where's the media?!?!?!?!
What border? We don’t have racist borders in 2021. They didn’t moved, the border did! Feel free to post what we brown beret Lulac la raza BS you’d like to describe the border. Un mundo sin fronterassddd!
Monkey Pox from Africa is ok to come in.
Border?
What border?
We don’t have no stinkin’ borders. (Sadly, this statement is not a joke.) I hope that the left really pays for this when we finally get the balls to give them a thorough attitude adjustment. Thorough attitude adjustment.
I bet it’s the barred countries that don’t want travel to the US. We’re importing cars by the thousands.
When Trump did this, the Left rallied and protested, calling him xenophobic. Those same people and media are strangely silent now
They’re just barring legitimate business people and tourists.
The illegals are free to waltz right on in.
Exactly, they are not serious until they stop letting hundreds of people thru gates daily. There was some video on tweeter last week of the Border Patrol letting hundreds of Africans thru one of the checkpoints on foot.
What about the border.....
**************
Those people aren’t travellers. They are border crossers. That’s the distinction. /sarc
Mexico has been full of Europeans who fly there and wait 14 days and then fly into the U.S.
That’s exactly where it’s all coming in to infect US.
Grounded Pilots Swamp Aviation Recruiters in Fight for Jobs
July 30, 2021
When U.K.-based Goose Recruitment kicked off a recent campaign to find 30 Boeing Co. 737 cargo pilots for a client in Europe, 400 resumes poured in within 48 hours. Most of the applicants used to fly commercial passenger jets.
“Pre-Covid, most airline pilots would look down their noses at flying cargo,” Goose’s Chief Executive Officer Mark Charman said in an interview from his office in Southampton on England’s south coast. “Now they’re like, ‘Pick me!’”
This clamor for work is being reflected around the world, as desperate pilots who’ve been grounded by the pandemic for more than a year mob recruiters for the few new flying jobs on the market in a last-ditch effort to save their aviation careers.
Wasinc International Ltd., which recruits overseas pilots for Chinese and Japanese airlines, is getting so many emails from out-of-work applicants that it no longer needs to advertise the roles it is trying to fill. Job applications from down-on-their-luck aviators, from Brazil and Mexico to Canada and Europe, have jumped at least 30-fold from pre-virus days, Wasinc CEO Dave Ross said in an interview from his home in Las Vegas.
While a rebound in U.S. domestic air travel offers some hope, the pleas for work reflect an industry decimated by the crisis. Temporary and permanent job losses at the four biggest carriers in the U.S. exceeded 150,000 last year, including pilots and other staff. Global airline capacity is still wallowing 31% below normal levels, according to OAG.
