On January 25, 2021, President Biden issued a proclamation extending COVID-related travel restrictions on individuals traveling to the U.S. from the Schengen Area, the U.K., Ireland & Brazil.  Additionally, the order adds travel restrictions on individuals traveling to the U.S. from South Africa.  The proclamation goes in effect on January 26, 2021 (January 30, 2021 for individuals traveling to the U.S. from South Africa) and is in effect indefinitely until the President lifts the travel ban(s). The proclamation will be reviewed on a month by month basis.  Additionally, the previous restrictions on individuals from Iran and China are still in effect.
