On Monday, the European Union removed the United States from its “safe list” of countries whose residents can travel to its 27 member states without requirements such as quarantine and testing. This generated confusion, with some people writing on social media that Americans have been banned from visiting Europe. Since June, the United States has been on the European Union’s safe list for travel, which cleared the way for American travelers to visit many E.U. How does this affect vaccinated travelers? Many member states have already been urging travelers to bring proof of vaccination and waiving quarantine requirements for those who can show proof of vaccination.
