European Union member states have agreed to lift coronavirus travel restrictions on travelers from eight countries and territories including the United States, officials and diplomats said Wednesday.

The whitelist of countries and regions exempted from the travel ban will be expanded to include Albania, North Macedonia, Serbia, Lebanon, the United States, Taiwan, Macau and Hong Kong, they said.

EU member states can still choose to require travelers from these areas to undergo Covid-19 testing or to observe periods in quarantine, but once the new list is approved the recommendation is that they should be exempted from a blanket travel ban.

Japan, Australia, Israel, New Zealand, Rwanda, Singapore, South Korea and Thailand were already on the approved list.

Seeing Lebanon there is so... surreal :air: but we have been getting less than 200 cases per day for the past couple of weeks so it makes sense. We had 45 cases out of ~10k tests a few days ago. You'd think this is because of vaccination campaigns and strict lockdowns but nope it's mostly herd immunity because soooo many people were infected and so many died :fail:  At least numbers are decreasing I guess.

Is this based on how they're handling COVID or more political than that?

It's related to covid numbers:

Countries can be included if they have recorded fewer than 75 cases of Covid-19 per 100,000 inhabitants over the past 14 days.
