American travel prohibited

The United States seems to be even more changeable than Britain with regard to prohibited entry.

Several Presidential proclamations have established restrictions on the entry of certain travellers into the United States in an effort to help slow the spread of coronavirus.

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. This list was dated 18 August and might well change.

• China
• Iran
• European Schengen area (Austria, Belgium, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Italy, Latvia, Liechtenstein, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Monaco, San Marino, Vatican City)
• United Kingdom (England, Scotland, Wales, Northern Ireland)
• Republic of Ireland
• Brazil

As further provided in each proclamation, citizens and lawful permanent residents of the United States, certain family members, and other individuals who meet specified exceptions, who have been in one of the countries listed above in the past 14 days will be allowed to enter the United States through one of 15 airports.
