Nearly all countries worldwide closed their borders in April 2020 due to the Covid-19 pandemic. The worsening situation compelled more countries to adopt similar policies. By May 18, 2020, at least 165 countries worldwide had implemented full border closures.
Several months later, starting July 19, 2020, 48 countries gradually began easing border restrictions. As of September 1, 93 countries still had closed their borders to international tourists.
Despite the gradual easing of border restrictions, health concerns remain paramount. Therefore, it is not surprising that several countries have postponed, or even cancelled, plans to lift border restrictions.
