White House lifting omicron travel ban on southern African countries amid spread in US
Fox News
President Biden is lifting his omicron-related travel ban on eight African countries.
"At the time these restrictions were put in place, it was clear that there was widespread community transmission in South Africa, as well as a great deal of cross-border travel in the region and little surveillance in many of the countries near South Africa," a senior administration official told Fox News Friday. "We will lift these restrictions effective Friday, December 31 at 12:01 AM."
