WASHINGTON (Reuters) – The United States is preparing for long lines and delays on Monday as the White House lifts restrictions on international travel for fully vaccinated foreign nationals, a senior official told Reuters late on Friday.
The Biden administration “expects pent-up demand for travel, which means longer than normal wait times for travelers,” the official said, adding the administration was boosting staffing to pre-pandemic levels, and “long lines are expected in the initial days following pent-up demand.”
