Travel isn’t easy these days. It’s been a long time since Americans could hop on a plane and jet to the other side of the world without worry. These days, the list of countries where people are allowed to visit pales in comparison to what it was, but there are still a few places allowing visitors without any COVID-19 restrictions.
The biggest problem facing travelers is many countries are requiring a 14-day mandatory quarantine for anyone flying in while others are denying entry entirely.

Planning a weeklong vacation in another country is quite simply impossible if travelers are required to remain in their accommodations for up to two weeks.

First and foremost, this story runs with a disclaimer. The CDC, along with most public-health and infectious-disease specialists, is asking US citizens to stay put to reduce the spread of coronavirus. Travel is not recommended in the immediate future, unless youâre a 90-year-old woman from England named Margaret Keenan who received the first round of a COVID-19 vaccine. Come to think of it, she shouldnât travel either.
