The U.S. will maintain current travel restrictions for international travelers, citing the spread of the Delta variant and rising COVID-19 cases among the unvaccinated, a White House official confirmed to CBS News.

The White House is facing pressure from the tourism industry and those with loved ones in the U.S. to lift the restrictions. The Biden administration understands the importance of travel and wants to reopen international travel safely, the official said, but noted that the Delta variant is highly transmissible, and the White House expects cases are likely to continue rising in the weeks ahead. Recent guidance from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention states that Americans should avoid travel to the United Kingdom. Reuters first reported that U.S. travel restrictions will remain in place.

The U.S. now prohibits most non-citizens who have been to the U.K., many other European nations, India, South Africa, Brazil, China and some other countries from traveling to the U.S. Travel is also restricted from neighboring Canada and Mexico, although Canada will soon allow fully vaccinated U.S. citizens into the country.

The Delta variant accounts for about 83.2% of COVID-19 cases, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention website currently says.

1. Duplicate of LBN post on Home page one hour and one minute earlier

Easily noticed.

2. The search engine does not always find those earlier threads.

I speak from experience. I have started many threads in LBN only to learn, after the fact, that there was an earlier thread.

They are not always easily noticed.

3. You don't need a search engine to take a few seconds to scan the LBN column

Sometimes they are not easily noticed, but so often they are, as in this case.

There is literally only one intervening article in the LBN column on the DU Home page.

4. You have to know which words to use.

It's not as easy a task as you make it out to be.

I base this statement on a lot of experience.

5. You don't have to know which words. Just read. There is only one intervening post in the LBN column.

I know from a lot of experience reading the LBN column on the DU Home page (Home tab).

In this case "Delta" would be a good search word and an easy one to think of.

6. Why would anyone, in advance, guess that "Delta" was a good search word for that subject?

That's sort of like saying that anyone could see that 538 would be yesterday's winning lottery number.

7. "Delta" is used in first sentence of both. "travel restrictions" (also in 1st) works equally well

Reading is easy too.

[Bernardo de La Paz]

8. Delta is given as the reason, in 1st sentence. Therefore it is imporant. Therefore good search term

As is "travel restrictions".

Delta is mentioned three times in the four paragraphs quoted.
