The European Union is expected to make a decision by Wednesday evening, to determine whether Americans will be banned entry to Europe as a protection against COVID-19 when external borders are reopened on July 1st.

The consideration comes as the US currently has close to 2.4 million cases of the virus and 120,000 deaths, making it the worst affected country in the world.

A draft list from the EU suggests travelers from Russia and Brazil would also be blocked from entering EU countries, according to an article in The New York Times.

US President Donald Trump has not yet responded to the claims.

In early March, the Trump administration barred travel to the US from much of Europe, citing outbreaks in northern Italy, Germany, and elsewhere in the European Union. That prohibition has not been lifted.

The EU’s criteria for determining which countries will be allowed to travel when borders reopen on July 1st is a record of 16 cases of COVID-19 per 100,000 population.

The news of the possible ban came on the same day New York Governor, Andrew Cuomo announced that New York will require travelers from states with high rates of coronavirus infections to quarantine for 14 days before being allowed entry. The new restriction takes effect midnight tonight, and applies to Alabama, Arkansas, Arizona, Florida, North Carolina, South Carolina, Washington, Utah and Texas.
