The White House on Friday said it will lift COVID-19 travel restrictions for fully vaccinated foreign nationals effective Nov. 8, ending historic restrictions that had barred much of the world from entering the United States. Announcing the starting date for the new rules on travel into and out of the country, White House spokesman Kevin Munoz posted on Twitter that the policy "is guided by public health, stringent, and consistent."

They prevented many loved ones and foreign workers from reuniting with families. FILE PHOTO: Travelers queue in a security line limit...

As part of its plan to guard against a COVID-19 outbreak, it will require passengers to prove they have been vaccinated. Banning anyone who refuses to prove their vaccine status will run afoul of Florida’s law, whi...
