Biden issues proclamation revoking travel ban on 8 southern African countries
Fox News
President Biden issued a proclamation Tuesday overturning a November travel order that barred nearly all non-U.S. citizens who had recently been in eight southern African countries from entering the U.S.
The previous proclamation from Biden that imposed travel restrictions on South Africa, Botswana, Eswatini, Namibia, Lesotho, Malawi, Mozambique and Zimbabwe will be lifted effective Dec. 31.
Having learned more about the omicron variant of COVID-19 over the past few weeks as it has spread to more than 100 countries, Biden said the CDC now recommends lifting the travel restrictions, citing scientific research and measures taken to make international air travel safer.
"In light of these changed circumstances, and based on the recommendation of the CDC, I have determined that it is in the interests of the United States to revoke Proclamation 10315," Biden said in the new proclamation. "The travel restrictions imposed by that proclamation are no longer necessary to protect the public health."
