Reuters reported that hundreds of Christmas flights in the United States have been cancelled due to a surge in confirmed cases of the new crown due to the spread of the Omi Keron strain. However, a large number of Americans continue to travel on holiday.
"USA Today" reported that the White House Assistant Press Secretary Kevin Muñoz said on the 24th that the Biden administration had lifted the travel ban on eight southern African countries. Earlier, the United States announced a travel ban on South Africa and other countries in order to prevent the Omi Keron strain. U.S. officials stated that foreign citizens who have stayed in one of these eight countries in the past 14 days and are barred from entry by the United States will be re-approved to travel to the United States on flights departing after 12:01 Eastern Time on December 31. At present, Omi Kiron strain infections have occurred in all 50 states in the United States. The Omi Keron strain has accounted for more than 73% of new confirmed cases in the United States.
