Travelers well vaccinated for non-essential travel

 

The Canadian government on Thursday quietly withdrew its guidelines against all non-essential travel, replacing them with a new adviser who says travelers should be fully vaccinated before leaving the country.

The adjustment comes a few weeks before the reopening of U.S. land borders for vaccinated Canadian tourists and the holiday travel season. Starting Nov. 8, Canadians can cross the United States by land or ferry for tourism purposes or to visit friends and family.

The updated guide says all travelers should take protective measures, such as wearing a mask, and continue to avoid cruise travel outside of Canada. According to the government website, travelers to the United States should "take normal safety precautions."

The previous travel notice was initially issued in March 2020 and told all Canadians to avoid cruises and non-essential travel abroad “until further notice”.

It did not prohibit international travel and many Canadians had already planned to visit the United States before updating the online guide.

Also Thursday, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau announced a standardized COVID-19 vaccination test for Canadian travelers. The system supports Canada’s new travel vaccination mandate that requires full vaccination of travelers departing from Canadian airports or trains as of October 30th.

Sweden reintroduces travel ban for American tourists

 

American tourists hoping to visit Sweden this fall will have to make other arrangements ...   following a decision by the Swedish government.

U.S. tourists hoping to visit Sweden this fall will face disappointment following the Swedish government’s decision to remove the U.S. exemption from its ban on traveling by Covid-19.

As of Sept. 6, the U.S. will be removed from Sweden's list of "safe countries." This means that permanent US residents will not be able to enter Sweden for non-urgent reasons, regardless of the state of vaccination.

The news comes when the Swedish government extended the country's entry ban for non-EU / EEA residents until 31 October. For several months, the U.S. had been one of the groups of countries exempt from the entry ban. But now the US has been removed from the list of exemptions along with Israel, Kosovo, Lebanon, Montenegro and Northern Macedonia.

 Other exemptions from the entry ban are still valid, so U.S. residents will still be able to travel to Sweden to begin a course of study, for certain urgent business or family reasons, or if they have the citizenship of a country. of the EU or a Swedish residence permit.

Driven by an EU recommendation

Sweden made the decision after the EU’s decision to remove the United States from its safe travel list of Covid-19. The United States has experienced a sharp increase in Covid-19 cases driven by the spread of the more contagious Delta variant.

In addition to the epidemiological situation, EU officials said the decision was based on "the reliability of the information and data sources available." He also took into account the fact that the US still prevents non-essential travel from Europe.

While the EU decision was a recommendation and was not binding on its members, it is not surprising that Sweden has chosen to implement it given the situation across the Atlantic.

Can I travel to Sweden if I am vaccinated?

At present, Sweden does not implement any exemption based on vaccination status for travelers outside the EU / EEA. However, the government confirmed that it is evaluating the possibility of exempting more travelers based on the state of vaccination in the future.

Swedish Interior Minister Mikael Damberg said they want to implement this agreement for countries with which Sweden has close relations such as the United Kingdom and the United States, "although the United States is more complex and many states have very different rules ".

Despite this promising news, the government did not give any estimated date on when vaccinated U.S. travelers could visit Sweden.

Why is Montana the most popular ski and outdoor vacation destination this winter?

This year, though, that tactic isn't working out so well, with some of the larger resorts understaffed and unable to handle the crowds, which are spurred by pent-up pandemic demand for travel following missed ski seasons. Resorts and major ski resorts have been hit by a double whammy: a labor shortage and an omicron variant outbreak that is decimating the ranks of the few employees they do have.
