The US will drop its Covid testing requirement for all travellers heading into the country from this weekend.
Officials say the mandate for the rule is due to expire on Sunday at 12.01am eastern time in the US.
It comes after health experts at the Centres for Disease Control and Prevention said that the rule was no longer necessary at this stage of the pandemic.
Previously, all travellers were required to take a Covid test with one day of travel into the country - regardless of vaccination status.
Airlines and tourism groups have been pressing the US Government for months to remove the need for the restriction.
Foreign nationals are still unable to enter the US if they are not fully vaccinated against Covid, unless they meet a number of exemptions.
Only US Citizens, US Nationals and US Lawful Permanent Residents can enter the US if they are unvaccinated, according to the UK Foreign Office.
The news will be welcome to a number of people in the UK, who have put off trips to the country while the restriction was in place.
