Proclamação presidencial restringe viagens de estrangeiros para EUA a partir do Brasil às 00h59 (horário de Brasília) em 29 de maio de 2020
(Inclui texto integral da proclamação americana)
Brasília, 24 de maio de 2020: O presidente Donald Trump assinou uma proclamação suspendendo a entrada nos Estados Unidos de qualquer estrangeiro ou brasileiro que tenha estado no Brasil no periodo de até 14 dias antes da tentativa de entrada nos EUA em razão ao aumento contínuo da taxa de infecções da COVID-19 no Brasil. A medida não se aplica a cidadãos norte-americanos ou residentes permanentes legais.
Essa proclamação presidencial não restringe voos do Brasil para os EUA e entra em vigor às 00h59 (horário de Brasília) em 28 de maio de 2020 [23h59 horário de verão da costa l’este dos EUA em 28 de maio de 2020], mas não se aplica a pessoas a bordo de voos programados para chegar nos EUA que tenham partido antes das às 00h59 (horário de Brasília) em 29 de maio de 2020 [23h59 horário de verão da costa l’este dos EUA em 28 de maio de 2020].
A proclamação não restringe a capacidade de cidadãos norte-americanos, residentes permanentes legais ou indivíduos que se enquadrem em alguma das exceções listadas de viajar para os EUA. Os cidadãos norte-americanos ou residentes permanentes legais retornando aos EUA que precisem de informações relacionadas à saúde devem entrar em contato com os Departamentos de Segurança Interna e Serviços Humanos e de Saúde.
Conforme declarado na proclamação, o presidente determinou que as viagens irrestritas de brasileiros ou quaisquer estrangeiros vindo do Brasil, devido o potencial de transmissão não detectada do vírus por indivíduos infectados podem contribuir para o aumento dos casos da COVID-19 nos EUA. O Brasil implementou restrições semelhantes à entrada de estrangeiros, inclusive dos EUA, em 30 de março, e as prorrogou por duas vezes desde então. As restrições que continuam em vigor são medidas de saúde pública para reduzir o potencial de transmissão do vírus.
Os EUA mantêm uma forte parceria com o Brasil e trabalhamos em estreita colaboração para mitigar os impactos socioeconômicos e de saúde da COVID-19 no Brasil, bem como para promover prioridades políticas, econômicas e de segurança no hemisfério e em todo o mundo.
Consulte o informativo para mais informações sobre a proclamação. Esta é a sexta proclamação que suspende as viagens de indivíduos relacionados ao surto da COVID-19. Veja abaixo o texto completo em inglês da proclamação.

Proclamation on Suspension of Entry as Immigrants and Nonimmigrants of Certain Additional Persons Who Pose a Risk of Transmitting Novel Coronavirus
The White House
Office of the Press Secretary
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
May 24, 2020
SUSPENSION OF ENTRY AS IMMIGRANTS AND NONIMMIGRANTS OF CERTAIN ADDITIONAL PERSONS WHO POSE A RISK OF TRANSMITTING 2019 NOVEL CORONAVIRUS
– – – – – – –
BY THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA
A PROCLAMATION
In Proclamation 9994 of March 13, 2020 (Declaring a National Emergency Concerning the Novel Coronavirus Disease (COVID-19) Outbreak), I declared a national emergency recognizing the threat that the novel (new) coronavirus known as SARS-CoV-2 poses to our Nation's healthcare systems. It is the policy of the United States to respond to the ongoing, unprecedented outbreak of COVID-19 (the disease caused by SARS?CoV-2) with every tool and resource available to the United States Government. Consistent with this policy, I have suspended and limited the entry of aliens recently present in certain foreign jurisdictions where significant COVID-19 outbreaks have occurred. These jurisdictions include the People's Republic of China (excluding the Special Administrative Regions of Hong Kong and Macau), the Islamic Republic of Iran, the Schengen Area, the United Kingdom (excluding overseas territories outside of Europe), and the Republic of Ireland.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), a component of the Department of Health and Human Services, working in close coordination with the Department of Homeland Security, has determined that the Federative Republic of Brazil is experiencing widespread, ongoing person-to-person transmission of SARS-CoV-2. As of May 23, 2020, the World Health Organization reported that the Federative Republic of Brazil had 310,087 confirmed cases of COVID-19, which is the third highest number of confirmed cases in the world.
The potential for undetected transmission of the virus by infected individuals seeking to enter the United States from the Federative Republic of Brazil threatens the security of our transportation system and infrastructure and the national security, and I have determined that it is in the interests of the United States to take action to restrict and suspend the entry into the United States, as immigrants or nonimmigrants, of all aliens who were physically present within the Federative Republic of Brazil during the 14-day period preceding their entry or attempted entry into the United States. The free flow of commerce between the United States and the Federative Republic of Brazil remains an economic priority for the United States, and I remain committed to facilitating trade between our nations.
NOW, THEREFORE, I, DONALD J. TRUMP, President of the United States, by the authority vested in me by the Constitution and the laws of the United States of America, including sections 212(f) and 215(a) of the Immigration and Nationality Act, 8 U.S.C. 1182(f) and 1185(a), and section 301 of title 3, United States Code, hereby find that the unrestricted entry into the United States of persons described in section 1 of this proclamation would, except as provided for in section 2 of this proclamation, be detrimental to the interests of the United States, and that their entry should be subject to certain restrictions, limitations, and exceptions. I therefore hereby proclaim the following:
Section 1. Suspension and Limitation on Entry. The entry into the United States, as immigrants or nonimmigrants, of all aliens who were physically present within the Federative Republic of Brazil during the 14-day period preceding their entry or attempted entry into the United States is hereby suspended and limited subject to section 2 of this proclamation.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this
