This week, President Biden signed a proclamation continuing the suspension of entry of certain travelers from the Schengen Area, the United Kingdom, the Republic of Ireland, Brazil, China, and Iran, and expanding these restrictions to include travelers from South Africa.
As with the previous suspensions, U.S. citizens and lawful permanent residents are not subject to the proclamations and certain other exemptions and exceptions still apply.
The expanded rule will become effective at 12:01 a.m. eastern standard time on January 30, 2021.
D&S will continue to monitor the situation and provide updates as they become available.
