The White House announced on Friday that it will lift COVID-19 travel restrictions on fully vaccinated international visitors, starting November 8.

"The U.S.' new travel policy that requires vaccination for foreign national travelers to the United States will begin on Nov 8. This announcement and date applies to both international air travel and land travel. This policy is guided by public health, stringent and consistent," White House spokesman Kevin Munoz confirmed on Twitter.

Restrictions on non-U.S. citizens were first imposed on air travelers from China in January 2020 by then-President Donald Trump, and then extended to dozens of other countries, without any clear metrics for how and when they would be lifted.

Curbs on non-essential travelers at land borders with Mexico and Canada have been in place since March 2020 to address the COVID-19 pandemic.
