President Donald Trump announced Monday that he would ease restrictions on travel to and from the United Kingdom, much of Europe, and that Brazil intends to curb the spread of the coronavirus, six days after leaving office. Trump planned the change, which would end the ban on the entry of non-US citizens from the United Kingdom, Brazil and Europe on January 26, but the administration of President-elect Joe Biden said it would not lift the restrictions. “With the worsening of the pandemic and the more contagious variants appearing around the world, now is not the time to remove restrictions on international travel,” said Biden press secretary Jen Psaki. he tweeted. “… In fact, we plan to strengthen public health measures around international travel to further mitigate the spread of COVID-19.” A new travel regulation is expected to come into force on January 26 that will require incoming passengers to demonstrate a negative pre-flight test for COVID-19, according to an order from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
