(8 Nov 2021) FOR CLEAN VERSION SEE STORY NUMBER: 4352118

The U.S. lifted restrictions Monday on travel from a long list of countries including India, Mexico, Canada and most of Europe, setting the stage for emotional reunions nearly two years in the making and providing a boost for the airline and tourism industries decimated by the pandemic.
At Newark International Airport in New Jersey, Nirmit Shelat was reunited with his girlfriend, Jolly Dave, after nine months of separation. Shelat arrived in Newark after driving from Charlotte, North Carolina, to greet Dave. She was on the first flight out of the country to the United States.
The rules that go into effect Monday allow air travel from a series of countries from which it had been restricted since the early days of the pandemic — as long as the traveler has proof of vaccination and a negative COVID-19 test. Those crossing land borders from Mexico or Canada will require proof of vaccination but no test.
American citizens and permanent residents were always allowed to enter the U.S., but the travel bans grounded tourists, thwarted business travelers and often separated families.
