Lawmakers in US border states have praised the move to lift unprecedented sanctions. It damaged the economies of local communities and prevented them from meeting friends and families for 19 months.

Officials said the date for the lifting of restrictions on both land and air travel in early November would be announced soon.

Homeland Security said that the administration was making increasingly stringent protocols for all foreign nationals traveling to the United States, whether by air or land.

Canada began allowing fully vaccinated US citizens for non-essential travel on August 9.

US lawmakers have been pressing the White House to lift restrictions prohibiting non-essential travel of Canadians across the North American border since March 2020.

Apart from this, Mexico also pressured the Biden administration to relax the sanctions.

The White House announced on September 20 that it would lift the travel ban on air travelers from 33 countries, including China, India, Brazil, and most of Europe, in early November.
