With specific exceptions, foreign nationals who have been in any of the following countries during the past 14 days may not enter the United States: China; Iran; European Schengen area; United Kingdom; Republic of Ireland; and Brazil. Exceptions are available for essential workers.

Moreover, the United States, Canada, and Mexico are still restricting all nonessential travel across the U.S. border, including tourism and recreation. However, essential commercial activity will not be impacted; Americans, Canadians, and Mexicans who cross the land border to do essential work for other urgent or essential reasons will not be impacted. Additionally, U.S. Customs and Border Patrol (CBP) will no longer detain unauthorized migrants in holding facilities and will immediately return them to either the country from which they entered, or where possible, to their country of origin.
