The EU governments have decided that the US is among six countries to be taken off their safe travel list because of a heightened COVID-19 risk, meaning American travellers will face restrictions like COVID tests and quarantines.

European Union governments have agreed to remove the United States from the EU's safe travel list, meaning US visitors and those from five other countries are likely to face tighter controls, such as COVID-19 tests and quarantines.

Already some EU countries, such as Germany and Belgium, categorise the United States as red, requiring tests and quarantines, while for neighbours France and the Netherlands, the United States is classified as safe. The list is largely compiled on the basis of the COVID-19 situation in each country, with reciprocity also a factor.The decision was made as average daily US COVID-19 cases have risen to more than 450 per million people in the week to August 28, compared with below 40 in mid-June when the European Union added the United States to its safe list, figures from Our World in Data show.
