The European Union is currently discussing how to reopen its external borders, with visitors from countries like America potentially still being barred from entering the bloc.
The European Commission, the executive arm of the EU, suggested earlier this month that European nations should open their internal borders by June 15 and slowly lift the travel ban on foreign visitors from July 1.
Thirty European countries decided to close their external borders back in March to contain the spread of Covid-19. The travel restriction has been extended three times since, but it's now due to come to an end on June 30. "It is way too early to say which countries will be in the list," an EU official, who didn't want to be named due to the sensitivity of the talks, told CNBC Wednesday in relation to external countries which may be granted access.
This means that countries with high rates, such as the United States and Brazil, could remain barred from entering European nations, at least for some time.
