Though there was announcements in April about the end of US emergency measures, there was lack of clarity about exactly what legal mechanism would apply and how this would apply to international non-citizen travellers to the US. There were fears that Biden and TSA etc may try and continue discrimination against non-jabbed travellers.
This is great news and a breath of relief for many people waiting to travel to the United States.
