When will the United States lift its travel restrictions on China?

The epidemic in the United States is still the worst in the world, but it still opens the rules to restrict foreign travel. With the gradual improvement of the global situation, the United States will lift its travel restrictions on China within five weeks. This is a detailed guide for you.

The US aviation industry and other tourism-related enterprises are urging the White House to draft a plan in the next five weeks to lift the restrictions on world travel at the beginning of the COVID-19 outbreak, so as to restore the normal life of people around the world.

On Monday, more than 24 companies and organizations jointly submitted their demands to the White House. The company hopes that people who have been vaccinated with COVID-19 vaccine can be exempted from testing requirements before entering the United States. They also want the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention to say that people who are vaccinated can travel safely.

These organizations say that these and other measures will accelerate the recovery of tourism and aviation. During the epidemic, the tourism industry was severely hit.

Air travel in the United States has begun to increase. In the past 1 1 day, more than 1 10,000 people passed through the security checkpoints of American airports every day, and the total number of people who received security checks on Sunday exceeded 1.5 million for the first time in more than a year. However, the passenger flow is still below.

Organizations calling for the relaxation of international restrictions include American Airlines (AAL). US), the largest airline in the United States, the American Tourist Association and the American Chamber of Commerce. They hope that the US government will lift the one-year international travel restrictions before May 1.

First, the airline industry wants to lift travel bans in Europe, China and other regions.

In addition, these organizations point out that the number of newly reported cases, hospitalizations and deaths related to COVID-19 in the United States has decreased recently. According to the data of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, nearly 45 million Americans (more than 13% of the American population) have been fully vaccinated with COVID-19 vaccine. They hope that people who have been vaccinated with COVID-19 vaccine can get rid of the test requirements before entering the United States. They also hope that the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) can publicly show that people who are vaccinated can go safely.

In a letter to Jeffrey Zintz, the White House virus response coordinator, they wrote: "It is time to make plans and road maps for reopening international travel."

The American aviation industry hopes to accelerate the recovery of tourism and aviation industry in these ways.

During the outbreak, the tourism industry suffered heavy losses. Recently, the number of newly confirmed cases and deaths in COVID-19 has been declining. Nearly 45 million Americans (accounting for more than 13% of the American population) were vaccinated, and the American aviation industry gradually began to pick up. In the past 1 1 day, more than 1 10,000 people passed the airport security check every day. On Sunday, the number of security guards exceeded 6.5438+0.5 million for the first time in more than a year, but the passenger flow was still far below the normal level in 2008.

In addition to USA-Today's report, KerGibbs, president of the American Chamber of Commerce in Shanghai, also wrote an article in the media, calling on China and the United States to strengthen cooperation and end travel restrictions.

During this period, the good news of the normalization of rehabilitation tours between China and the United States is frequent, which makes the majority of international students who are forced to study at home see their expectations. Earlier, various news reports said that China and the United States may lift the travel ban this summer, or even before the summer.

Scientific point of view: China-US travel restrictions should be lifted in August and September.

In early March, a forum jointly organized by the Brookings Institution and Tsinghua University kicked off on the Internet.

Wu Zunyou, chief expert of China CDC, and American experts analyzed when China and the United States lifted travel restrictions from a scientific perspective.

Wu Zunyou analyzed that China is the safest country in the world, and the epidemic situation in COVID-19 has been effectively controlled, with no community infection. In addition, the vaccine promotion in the United States is very fast. It is possible to vaccinate about 80% of the population and immunize 90% of the population before June.

Third, the free travel plan between the two countries should cover all types of tourism.

Normalization of personnel exchanges has entered the agenda of China and the United States.

Last week, the talks between China and the United States in Anchorage, Alaska attracted global attention.

According to official media reports, the talks between China and the United States touched on the issue of personnel exchanges between China and the United States.

Xinhua News Agency reported that the original text is as follows: The two sides expressed their views on adjusting relevant tourism and visa policies according to the epidemic situation and gradually promoting the normalization of personnel exchanges between China and the United States.

At the same time, it was pointed out that the two sides discussed the issue of peer-to-peer organizations vaccinating their diplomatic and consular personnel against COVID-19.

This shows that visa and sightseeing between China and the United States have now been put on the agenda.
