The United States is rethinking the travel warning for some destinations, including Austria and Germany. The government is thus creating a rapprochement, but this does not change the tough entry rules.

In the USA there is a four-stage warning system, so far the highest warning level has been issued for trips to the European Schengen area, Great Britain, Ireland, India, China, Brazil, South Africa and Iran. Now we are shifting down a gear: since yesterday, some countries, including Austria, are back at level three. 

US citizens are therefore only advised to reconsider their travel plans to these countries, while travel is completely discouraged for countries of the highest level. This also affects many EU countries, including Portugal, Belgium, the Netherlands and Poland, but also the neighboring Austrian countries of the Czech Republic, Slovakia and Slovenia as well as Croatia. That reports the ORF. Nevertheless, nothing changes in the strict entry rules. On the occasion of the CoV pandemic, entry is still only permitted in exceptional cases.
