April DeMuth and her partner, Warren Watson, had just finished what they described as the perfect vacation in Greece when they took a coronavirus test at the Athens airport. Every detail of their trip ran seamlessly until they were waiting in line for their flight home to South Carolina on Aug. 3, when Mr. Watson, 51 — who, along with Ms. DeMuth, is fully vaccinated — received an email saying he had tested positive for the coronavirus. “We were in total shock and didn’t know what to do,” Mr. Watson recalled. But now, with the Delta strain making up more than 90 percent of the cases in Europe and the United States, stories of travelers catching the virus abroad — including those who are fully vaccinated — are beginning to surface. Their plans have been upended by mandatory quarantine requirements in different countries.
