This step will reduce a mixture of the ban that began to cause anger outside and replace it with more unified requirements for international air travelers..This will be a welcome news for the travel industry, which was pressing the federal government to raise some rules that prevent international tourism, as well as airlines, hotels and hospitality groups.

The American travel ban was imposed for the first time in the first days of the epidemic when the then US President Donald Trump, travel from China in January 2020.This step failed to prevent the virus from reaching the United States, but other countries have been added to the list.The officials pressed the White House to reduce the entry from places where the rates of cases were high.
