Americans could be banned from some European vacations after the EU recommends its members halt nonessential travel from the US due to the pandemic
The European Union recommended on Monday that Americans should be banned from nonessential travel to its member states after a rise in Covid-19 cases in the United States.
The European Council, the EU's governing body, recommended in June that the bloc lift restrictions on nonessential travel from 14 countries, including the US -- a move welcomed by many countries heavily dependent on tourism dollars from across the Atlantic. "What is going on now is both entirely predictable, but entirely preventable. And you know we know we have the wherewithal with vaccines to turn this around," said Dr. Anthony Fauci, the US government's top infectious diseases expert."We could turn this around and we could do it efficiently and quickly if we just get those people vaccinated."
Florida on Saturday had the highest Covid-19 hospitalization rate in the country, with 75 patients per 100,000 residents in hospitals with the virus, according to data from federal health officials and Johns Hopkins University. It also reached yet another pandemic high of Covid-19 cases Friday, reporting 690.5 new cases per 100,000 people each day from August 20 to August 26, state data showed.
