"We are anxious to be able to restore travel as fully and quickly as possible. I can't put a date on it, we have to be guided by the science, by medical expertise"

US President Joe Biden's administration is working on the lifting of Covid-19 travel restrictions imposed on EU citizens but it is premature to put a date on any such move, US Secretary of State Antony Blinken said on Friday.
"We are anxious to be able to restore travel as fully and quickly as possible. I can't put a date on it, we have to be guided by the science, by medical expertise," Blinken told a news conference in Paris alongside his French counterpart.
