The US Homeland Security Department confirmed that starting 12 May, it will no longer require non-US travellers entering via land ports of entry and ferries to be vaccinated against Covid and provide proof of vaccination upon request.
The update will bring to an end restrictions on international travel that have remained for a number of years.
A requirement for travellers flying to the US to show proof of negative Covid test was dropped last June but vaccination requirements for most foreign travellers were kept in place by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
