The United States has not put in place a travel ban on Britain. There are no confirmed cases of the variant circulating in the United States, but that does not mean it hasn’t already reached American shores. Andrew M. Cuomo of New York called for the United States to mandate testing before arriving from abroad, a policy already enforced by at least 120 countries. The United States has yet to impose such a health measure. “I think actually the United States should say we should test before anyone comes from any country, because the U.K. variant now has already migrated,” Mr. Cuomo said.
