U.S. Plans to Keep Travel Restrictions due to Delta Variant Concerns

The United States plans to maintain current travel restrictions due to concerns about the spread of the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) Delta variant with a rising number of cases, Reuters reported.

The move that was reportedly confirmed by the White House on Monday could leave a negative impact on the airline and tourism industries, especially in the U.S. and at a time when they look most to recovery after huge losses due to the pandemic.

Airlines are said to have heavily lobbied the Biden administration for months to ease the travel-related preventive measures.
