Novak Djokovic no longer needs to worry about gaining access to the United States due to the fact that he has not been vaccinated for Covid-19. The United States will officially end the regulation that kept Djokovic from playing at Indian Wells and Miami this spring – effective May 11.

Here are the details straight from the White House:

“Today, we are announcing that the Administration will end the COVID-19 vaccine requirements for Federal employees, Federal contractors, and international air travelers at the end of the day on May 11, the same day that the COVID-19 public health emergency ends. Additionally, HHS and DHS announced today that they will start the process to end their vaccination requirements for Head Start educators, CMS-certified healthcare facilities, and certain noncitizens at the land border. In the coming days, further details related to ending these requirements will be provided.”
