US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo said he expected a solution "in the coming weeks" that would allow travel to restart between the United States and Europe.
"We have to make sure that we have all of the elements in place to reopen travel between the EU and the United States," said Mr Pompeo.However, the New York Times reported that the European Union was considering blocking US travellers as it reopens its borders to tourism due to its continuing high number of infections.
WHO emergencies director Michael Ryan warned that the virus was still raging in the Americas and needed a very aggressive response from governments to suppress the spread. "Unfortunately, the pandemic for many countries in the Americas has not peaked," he said, and was "likely to result in a sustained number of cases and continued deaths in the coming weeks." As coronavirus infections surge across large parts of the United States, White House adviser Dr Anthony Fauci warned the next two weeks would be "critical to our ability to address... surgings" in Florida, Texas and other states.
He continued to stoke controversy, doubling down on weekend comments he wanted to slow testing because so many confirmed infections made the United States look bad.
