The list is still not formally out. It includes citizens from Japan, South Korea,&nbsp;New Zealand, Australia and Canada who will be given the green light.

A New York Times report had earlier claimed that the EU was mulling blocking Americans from entering its territory since the United States had failed to curb the coronavirus pandemic.

The NYT had said it is unclear if American officials were aware of the development.&nbsp;

According to a new report in the British press, the Boris Johnson government is negotiating "air bridges" with EU countries in order to ensure summer holidays for its citizens. The report claims that at least 55 per cent of the 27 nation EU members have signed the list.

The report added that Spain which is one of the countries worst hit by the virus including Greece and Portugal are still split over the decision to bar other nations on the list since a large majority of their national income depends on tourism.

EU will finally open its gates for entry from July 1 while formally announcing the list.
