European Union Is Considering Banning American Tourists Once More

As fresh coronavirus cases rise, the European Union will debate whether to reimpose restrictions on visitors from the United States on Thursday.

According to two people acquainted with the arrangements, the change was requested by Slovenia, which now holds the rotating presidency of the EU and is responsible for initiating an assessment of countries that are allowed non-essential travel there.

According to the European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control, the United States recorded 507 new Covid-19 cases per 100,000 people in the first two weeks of August, well exceeding the EU limit of 75. Still, a decision to prohibit people from the world’s largest economy would be a setback for airlines and tourist companies hoping to reinstate profitable transatlantic connections completely.
