The EU opened the border, the Americans could be dropped from the list

The European Union (EU) is set to reopen its borders with countries in the international arena from July 1 after a long travel ban due to the coronavirus.

Officials say, citizens of several other countries, including the United States, could be dropped from the new travel list.

U.S. citizens are being barred from entering EU countries for failing to handle the coronavirus. In addition, some countries with high levels of coronavirus infection are on the list.

While many European countries are keen to reintroduce international travel for foreign tourists, other countries are concerned about the spread of coronavirus infection.

That is why European countries are compiling a list of countries from which it is safe to allow travelers to enter the EU and which countries are not safe in view of the coronavirus situation.

The European Commission has advised EU ambassadors to list only those countries that have handled the coronavirus situation better or better than the EU.

EU ambassadors discussed the plan on Wednesday. Several countries, including the United States, have been left out of the draft list, The New York Times reported. The final decision could be made next week, the newspaper said.

Brazil, Peru, Chile, Panama, and Saudi Arabia currently have the highest rates of virus infection, according to the latest coronavirus statistics from the European Center for Disease Prevention and Control, the European Union's health agency.

In the United States and Russia, meanwhile, the per capita infection rate is now lower as a population, but still higher than most European countries.

 Recorded coronavirus infections are now occurring in several states in the United States. Since then, the EU has considered the country at risk.

However, as the rate of infection is not the same in all regions of the United States, the two EU officials said that they are considering whether to impose travel bans on the most infected areas without imposing travel bans on citizens of the whole country.

The omission of the United States from the EU's travel list would be a major blow to the country's image in the world. The move would also be retaliation for President Trump.

Because of concerns about the coronavirus earlier this year, Trump imposed travel restrictions on many European countries. He said in May that the coronavirus situation in Europe had improved, but that it had not.
