Proclamation 10138 of January 18, 2021
Terminating Suspensions of Entry Into the United States of Aliens Who Have Been Physically Present in the Schengen Area, the United Kingdom, the Republic of Ireland, and the Federative Republic of Brazil By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation In the wake of the unprecedented outbreak of COVID19 in the United States, I took action to suspend and limit the entry of aliens recently present in certain foreign jurisdictions where significant COVID19 outbreaks had occurred. These jurisdictions included the Peoples Republic of China excluding the Special Administrative Regions of Hong Kong and Macau, the Islamic Republic of Iran, the Schengen Area, the United Kingdom excluding overseas territories outside of Europe, the Republic of Ireland, and the Federative Republic of Brazil.
Understanding that the nature of the threat posed by COVID19 would evolve over time, I directed the Secretary of Health and Human Services to make recommendations to me regarding whether to continue, modify, or terminate the restrictions that I had previously imposed. On January 12, 2021, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention CDC issued an order, effective January 26, 2021, requiring proof of a negative COVID
19 test or documentation of having recovered from COVID19 for all air passengers arriving from a foreign country to the United States. The Secretary has explained that this action will help to prevent air passengers from the Schengen Area, the United Kingdom, the Republic of Ireland, and the Federative Republic of Brazil from spreading the virus that causes COVID
19 into the United States, as it is the Secretarys understanding that the vast majority of persons entering the United States from these jurisdictions do so by air.

Moreover, the Secretary expects cooperation from those jurisdictions in implementing the testing order. Public health officials in the jurisdictions have a proven record of working with the United States to share accurate and timely COVID19 testing and trend data, and the United States has active collaborations with the jurisdictions regarding how to make travel safe between our respective countries. As a result of that record, the Secretary reports high confidence that these jurisdictions will cooperate with the United States in the implementation of CDCs January 12, 2021, order and that tests administered there will yield accurate results.
This cooperation stands in stark contrast to the behavior of the governments and state-owned enterprises of the Peoples Republic of China and the Islamic Republic of Iran, which repeatedly have failed to cooperate with the United States public health authorities and to share timely, accurate information about the spread of the virus. Those jurisdictions responses to the pandemic, their lack of transparency, and their lack of cooperation with the United States thus far in combatting the pandemic, cast doubt on their cooperation in implementing CDCs January 12, 2021, order.
Accordingly, the Secretary has advised me to remove the restrictions applicable to the Schengen Area, the United Kingdom, the Republic of Ireland, and the Federative Republic of Brazil, while leaving in place the restrictions
