The US has started easing its restrictions on travel to mainland Europe, although strict rules on travel between the UK and the US remain in place.

The US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) this week softened its travel advice for more than 100 countries around the world.


In total, 61 countries – including France, Spain and Italy – have been removed from the CDC’s level four "do not travel" category and placed instead under level three "reconsider travel" advice.


This means fully vaccinated travellers are no longer being advised against travelling to these destinations.
