Starting on Monday, the United States will restrict travel from South Africa and seven other African countries amid the new Omicron strain of the coronavirus, announced the White House on Friday. The United States will restrict travel to anyone who isn’t a U.S. citizen or lawful permanent resident from South Africa, Botswana, Zimbabwe, Namibia, Lesotho, Eswatini, Mozambique, and Malawi. Those eligible to enter the United States from those places must test negative for the coronavirus.
