EU countries may ban visitors from the United States, Brazil and Russia temporarily due to the epidemiological situation in these countries, The New York Times reported.

According to the article, the European Union has prepared two lists of countries for which the border will open as of July 1.

One list contains 47 countries and includes only those nations with an infection rate lower than the E.U. average. The other list consists of 54 countries and also includes those nations with slightly worse case rates than the E.U. average.

The New York Times notes that the lists have not yet been approved, although this may happen next week.
