That's only for ground travel isn't it? All the information I've seen indicates air travel is unaffected.

Korea never closed to American tourists. There is a currently mandatory government facility quarantine in a hotel for foreigners not on a long-term visa though. 14 days and 1400000KRW (about $1100) cost but that includes lodging/3 meals a day.

I suppose a more surgical question would be what countries are currently open to US tourists but without a mandatory stay in place once you arrive.

In an attempt to get this thread back on track, Thailand announced today that it is reopening borders to international travel on July 1st: https://www.bangkokpost.com/thailand...down-on-july-1
I'm sure that we will get more information soon about who is allowed to enter and under what conditions.

Good news for the US travelers (per Bloomberg: https://www.bloomberg.com/news/artic...-15-with-rules)
"International flights will be allowed to Athens and Thessaloniki in a bridge phase from June 15 to June 30 from countries on a list compiled by the European Union Aviation Safety Agency, including the U.K. and the U.S., the country’s Foreign Ministry said in a statement Saturday. From July 1, the measure is expanded to all Greek airports.
The Greek government clarified on Saturday that it will also allow tourists from the other countries to enter the country in the bridge phase with different rules depending on the airport of origin as shown in the EASA list.
If travel originates from an airport not in the EASA affected area list then visitors are only subject to random tests upon arrival, the Foreign Ministry said. If the journey originates from an airport on the EASA affected area list, the visitors will be tested upon arrival; if negative, the passenger self-quarantines for seven days and if positive, the passenger is quarantined under supervision for 14 days. From July 1 all testing is random while additional restrictions regarding certain countries will be announced at a later date."
And here is the EASA list: https://www.easa.europa.eu/sites/def...issue%2014.pdf

It will be interesting to see how that "travel originates" section is interpreted. My state isnt listed but I'd have to connect through one of the states to get to Greece.

I think St. Lucia for June is a bust. If it was ever a "real" possibility at all or just a pie in the sky hope brokered between St. Lucia and Sandals that fell flat. AA pulled it's June flights last night. Delta had pulled them last week, which was probably a precursor this was coming. The June opening was for the US only. If planes aren't flying, it isn't happening, regardless of what's open or not.
There's reports on travel forums Sandals pushed back its opening date from June to July. Also that want-to-be June travelers weren't able to find any resort / hotel other than Sandals who'd opened up their reservation systems for June. The June (and July) St. Lucian government criteria was very restrictive and hotels were allowed to open June 1 if they elected to meet the new criteria (including temperature checks at every meal for example). But a list of hotels meeting the criteria was never published.
Personally, I'd looked in passing at Sugar Beach resort a few days after the government June 1 opening was announced by the bloggers, with the links to the program and the restrictions. Interestingly, Sugar Beach was taking June reservations for maybe a day or two on their website. But June went to July in just days.
My take on this is folks need to be careful considering St. Lucia for July as well. Other Caribbean destinations have recently pushed back opening dates. Hard to say what will be real. Unfortunately, I think this will be a repeated pattern across many destinations. Opening dates are repeatedly pushed back. The few people who took the chance early and booked are left with vouchers and hence let people know their displeasure on social media. So the next wave of potential travelers decides to go instead with last minute bookings and jump when there's confirmation a destination actually did open and people are traveling. But it's increasingly challenging to get to that point because airlines will cut back flights due to lack of demand at resorts and resorts won't open when folks aren't confidant enough in a) the airlines actually flying the flights they advertise, or b) the islands actually opening up on the dates they announce, to make bookings.

The devil can be in the details.
If it truly is from origination, I'd be ok from Minnesota. If it is based on origin of incoming flight, I dont think I'd be able to get there

It'd be surprising if true origination. When completing customs forms at international borders they always want the flight name and number actually arriving to the destination border. I was proverbially slapped by customs once at TCI when not thinking I listed my originating flight. They actually caught it, rolled their eyes at me, and made me change and initial the form.
On the other hand, why bother listing all those states, if it's not true origination? Although I haven't looked at trying to get to Greece lately, off the top of my head I'd guess there's only a handful of US states with non-stop flights to Greece. (Possibly NY, IL, TX, MA, PA, FL, GA, and NC?)

Good point about the immigration form. That would be logical (though that isnt often a given).
I looked at the states and figured almost every major hub for Oneworld/AA with international connections was covered (or what likely would have flights). However, I did notice that CLT wasn't listed. It might be an odd routing but I think I could use that with a couple of hops to get there. LOL!
