The Biden administration could ease travel restrictions from Mexico, Canada, Europe, Britain and Brazil from mid-May. This was reported by some American media citing sources of the administration, according to which vaccines will be more available from mid-May and this could translate into a slackening of cross-border travel.
The United States, however, has currently announced the extension of the closure of land borders with Canada and Mexico for all non-essential travel at least until April 21. The restrictions were imposed in March 2020, with the outbreak of the coronavirus pandemic, and were always extended monthly by the countries involved. The restrictions do not apply to trade.
In Canada, Covid-19 caused the deaths of about 22,600 people; in the United States, so far more than 538,000 have been killed; in Mexico, over 195,000.
European citizens, on the other hand, will be able to return to travel this summer providing proof of having undergone vaccination, or of being negative in a test or being cured of Covid-19. This is thanks to the new Covid pass, presented by the EU Commission to relaunch travel in Europe. The pass, which is expected to be available from June in digital or paper format, will be interoperable, binding for all Member States and will admit all vaccines available on the market.
