A private jet that flew from Colorado to Italy with five Americans on board was denied entry into the country because of the European Union's ban on United States citizens due to COVID-19. The jet flew from the Eagle County Regional Airport on the afternoon of July 1 and made it to the Cagliari Elmas Airport in Sardinia on July 2 at around 10.30am. The European Union has denied US entry to their countries since mid-March but extended the ban to two more weeks on July 1. 'Rules must be respected, but there needs to be some common sense,' he said in televised comments posted online Thursday by L'Unione Sarda newspaper. That proposal fell by the wayside, but Salinas blasted the treatment the Americans received.
