Why Europe is Banning American Tourists: The EU Thinks the US Can’t Handle COVID – TLDR News
In the next few days, the EU is set to re-open its borders to foreign countries; but this isn’t a universal offer, countries need to fulfill certain terms to qualify. One country that doesn’t is the United States of America due to their handling of COVID so far, which means that Europe won’t be allowing Americans in on the 4th. In this video, we explain why they made this decision and what it means.

If the U.S. does not want to have a travel ban to Europe it should agree to and pay for a 2 week managed quarantine on ALL people leaving the U.S. in the country they are entering. New Zealand just had an diplomate return from the U.S. and diplomatic immunity laws prevented the compulsorily testing and managed isolation for all inward coming persons and now relies on himself isolating at is residence. If he is positive and if he does not prevent the spread of Covid-19 New Zealand will have another new outbreak source. Well done Europe on trying to prevent the re-introduction of Covid to your states but REALLY enforce restriction of movement, testing and isolation of tourists.
