US authorities have announced that May 11 will see the end of COVID-19 vaccination requirements for foreign travellers to the country, and also the vaccination mandate for government employees.
This too will be the day of the ending of the Public Health Emergency in the US.

The statement said: “Since January 2021, COVID-19 deaths have declined by 95 percent and hospitalisations are down nearly 91 percent.
