Denmark and the Netherlands impose travel bans on unvaccinated US tourists

Unprotected American tourists are no longer welcome in Denmark or the Netherlands.

Countries announced new vaccination requirements days after the European Union removed the country from its safe travel list earlier in the week due to an increase in COVID-19 cases, according to USA Today.

The move prompted other European Union countries to respond by imposing new restrictions on US visitors.

In addition to banning unvaccinated Americans, the Netherlands will also require American travelers who have received their vaccines to self-isolate, officials said.

The article said Bulgaria will now completely ban travel from the states and Italy has imposed testing and quarantine requirements on US tourists.

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the United States has not yet received most European tourists into the country.

In addition to the Netherlands and Denmark, the move is leading other European Union countries to respond with new restrictions on visitors from the United States.
