The US is one of eight countries or regions to be added to the EU’s “white list” with the others being Albania, North Macedonia, Serbia, Lebanon, Taiwan, Macao and Hong Kong.

But the UK currently remains off this list due to concerns about the rising number of cases of the Delta variant, which was first identified in India.
