Biden administration has said they would not lift the travel restriction. Stating on twitter Psaki said “with the pandemic worsening, and more contagious variants emerging around the world, this is not the time to be lifting restrictions on international travels”

The easing of the travel restrictions was announced after the US centers for Disease Control and Prevention said the previous week that a negative covid-19 test is mandatory for all air travelers entering the US, and test must be done 72 hours before arrival into the US with PCR fit to fly certificate or document to show recovery from covid-19.
