（美国有线电视新闻网）政府官员告诉美国有线电视新闻网，随着新的冠状病毒变种出现，总统乔拜登将从周一开始限制来自南非和其他七个国家的旅行。
根据安东尼·福奇博士和疾病预防控制中心的建议，拜登政府将限制来自南非、博茨瓦纳、津巴布韦、纳米比亚、莱索托、埃斯瓦蒂尼、莫桑比克和马拉维的旅行。
限制旅行的决定是在联邦政府仍在试图了解更多关于新变种的情况下做出的。他们需要看到更多的排序，但在讨论了迄今为止他们所看到的情况后，官员们出于对他们尚不了解的情况的担忧，决定停止来自这些其他国家的旅行。
据一位白宫官员称，拜登今天听取了在南部非洲流行的新型冠状病毒变种的简报。
仍在进一步了解该变体的官员表示，鉴于世卫组织现已将其确定为令人担忧的变体，因此该政策的实施是出于谨慎考虑。
一位官员说：“我们的科学家和公共卫生官员正在迅速开展工作，以了解有关这种变体的更多信息。”
这不适用于美国公民和合法永久居民。与所有国际旅行者一样，他们仍必须在旅行前测试为阴性。
Biden to restrict travel from South Africa and seven other countries starting Monday
(CNN)President Joe Biden will restrict travel from South Africa and seven other countries starting Monday as a new coronavirus variant has emerged, administration officials told CNN.
Acting on advice from Dr. Anthony Fauci and the CDC, the Biden administration will restrict travel from South Africa, Botswana, Zimbabwe, Namibia, Lesotho, Eswatini, Mozambique and Malawi.
The decision to restrict travel comes as the federal government is still attempting to learn more about the new variant. They need to see more sequencing, but after discussing what they've seen so far, officials decided to halt travel from these other countries out of concern about what they don't yet know.
Biden was briefed today on the new coronavirus variant circulating in southern Africa, according to a White House official.
Officials, who are still learning more about the variant, said the policy was implemented out of an abundance of caution given the WHO has now identified this as a variant of concern.
"Our scientists and public health officials are working quickly to learn more about this variant," one official said.
This does not apply to American citizens and lawful permanent residents. As with all international travelers, they must still test negative prior to travel.
