Trump to lift COVID-19 travel bans on those flying from UK, Brazil and Europe
Soon after the announcement was made public, however, Joe Biden was said to be planning on extending travel restrictions. This would bar travel by most people who have recently been in much of Europe and Brazil. The restrictions reportedly being lift have barred nearly all non-US citizens who within the last 14 days have been in Brazil, the UK, Ireland and the 26 countries of the Schengen area in Europe that allow travel across open borders.

Others have argued the US should not drop entry bans since many European countries still block most of their citizens.
