Trade group U.S. Travel said the countries accounted for 53% of all overseas visitors to the United States in 2019. From Monday, travelers who can show official proof of vaccination and a recent, negative viral test can fly to the United States, and many-headed to airports in London, Paris, and beyond. Airlines, which have warned there will likely be long queues at first, will check vaccination documentation for international travelers as they currently do for COVID-19 test results. Starting on Monday, the nearly 2,000-mile (3,200-km) border between Mexico and the United States will also be open again. Non-tourist travelers from nearly 50 countries with nationwide vaccination rates of less than 10% will also be eligible for exemption.
