(CNN) — There are only two months left in 2021 and as we enter November, countries around the world are relaxing their Covid-19 restrictions. Here are 10 destinations that have made headlines in pandemic travel news this week.

Only pre-approved, fully vaccinated visitors can enjoy its azure waters, luxury resorts, 33 public beaches and 80-degree temperatures (with exceptions made for under-18s and the pregnant).
2. Australia: Residents can travel again
Two of the country’s states are taking slightly different approaches to easing Covid restrictions.
3. Barbados: No quarantine for the vaccinated
The eastern Caribbean island of Barbados has just elected its first ever president, Sandra Mason, who will take over from Queen Elizabeth II as head of state. She’ll be sworn in on November 30, which is the 55th anniversary of Barbados becoming independent from Britain.
4. Cambodia: Reopening to international travelers
5. Cuba: Welcomes tourists next month
Visitors will need just proof of vaccination or a recent PCR test to enter the country, says the news agency.
6. Easter Island: Voted against reopening
7. Iran: Borders are open again
Iran is filled with spectacular archaeological treasures, no fewer than 24 UNESCO World Heritage Sites, and an array of beautiful mosques.
8. Israel: Reopening to vaccinated tourists
A scuba diver has found a four-foot long sword thought to belong to a crusader 900 years ago off the coast of Israel.
9. New Zealand: New easing measures
New Zealand’s Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern announces the country is moving from eliminating Covid-19, amid a persistent outbreak of the Delta variant, and will instead transition to a strategy of ‘living with the virus.’
Like its neighbor Australia, New Zealand is moving away from its zero-Covid strategy and preparing to reopen to the world.
For those fully vaccinated travelers from abroad who still do need to quarantine, the 14-day sojourn in a hotel will be shortened to seven days, with a plan to move to a system of home isolation for fully vaccinated arrivals later in 2022.
10. UK: Cleared its red list
There are just seven countries left on England’s once heaving inventory of “red list” destinations — Colombia, Dominican Republic, Ecuador, Haiti, Panama, Peru and Venezuela — and they’re all set to be removed on November 1.
This means that anyone from any country will be able to enter England, although they will still be subject to testing requirements or quarantine, depending on their vaccination status.
