Coronavirus latest: Eight in 10 adults in England, Wales and Northern Ireland have Covid antibodies


Joe Biden’s administration has taken the first step towards relaxing America’s pandemic-related travel bans, setting up working groups to advise on how to loosen restrictions with the UK, EU, Mexico and Canada.

The White House said on Tuesday it was establishing policy teams formed of officials from five different parts of the US government to help decide when and how to allow entry to non-citizens from the UK and Schengen areas, as well as when to reopen the land borders with its immediate neighbours.

The restrictions have been in place since the early stages of the pandemic, but have come under fire from foreign governments and the travel industry as case counts have fallen in many countries and vaccination rates have risen.

A White House official said: “Recognising the importance of travel to our citizens and their families, and the critical role trade relationships and our transportation sector play in our economies, the Biden administration is launching a series of expert working groups with four key partners: Canada, Mexico, the European Union and the United Kingdom to determine how best to reopen travel safely.”

The Trump administration imposed a series of travel bans early last year in an unsuccessful effort to stem the spread of Covid-19.

Under those rules, any non-American who has been in the UK, Ireland, the Schengen area (which includes most EU members as well as Norway, Switzerland and Iceland), China, South Africa, Iran or Brazil in the past 14 days is not allowed to enter the US.

As one of his final actions in office, Donald Trump dropped those rules, but they were reimposed by Biden almost immediately after he became US president.

Biden also added India to the list of proscribed countries.

The land borders with Canada and Mexico have also remained closed for anyone undertaking non-essential travel.

The travel rules are some of the last remaining Covid-19-related restrictions in the US, where a rapid vaccination drive has brought case numbers down to about 15,000 a day — a level not seen since March last year.

British officials in particular have pushed for a relaxation of the measures, pointing out their country’s death rate has been lower than that of the US on a per capita basis since February. UK representatives told the Financial Times last week that they were hoping to use this weekend’s G7 summit in Cornwall as an opportunity to press their case.

The global travel industry has also put pressure on the Biden administration to reopen US borders, demands the White House has resisted not least because Americans are still able to travel widely outside the US, albeit while adhering to local quarantine restrictions.

Tuesday’s announcement was the first sign the rules could be relaxed this summer — although such inter-agency groups often take weeks to come up with concrete proposals.

The five parts of the government involved in the working groups are the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the state, homeland security, health and transport departments.
