The European Union has moved to reinstate Covid travel restrictions like quarantine and testing requirements for unvaccinated citizens of the United States and five other countries, Reuters quotes two unnamed diplomats as telling the wire service.

EU countries started a procedure to remove the United States from a list of countries whose citizens can travel to the 27-nation bloc without additional Covid restrictions.

The non-binding list currently has 23 countries on it, including Japan, Qatar and Ukraine, but some of the 27 EU countries already have their own limits on US travellers in place.
