That was to be expected: New US President Joe Biden has renewed the entry ban for Europeans. 

And even expanded. Because from now on, the stricter measures to protect against a mutation of the corona virus also apply to foreign travelers from South Africa. "The national emergency caused by the coronavirus outbreak in the United States continues to pose a serious threat to our health and safety," said the proclamation signed by Biden yesterday. "This is not the right time to lift restrictions on international travel," said the White House spokeswoman from ORF quoted. The outgoing US President Donald Trump ordered an end to the entry ban about a week ago, which has now been in place for almost ten months.
