Guesses on whether the new ban will affect someone with a job in the EU who is currently in the US and hoping to return to Europe in August?

What a mess.

Any word on if the ban is strictly passport-based? What if you are an expat who hasn't been to the US since Covid hit?

I'm not in Europe, but our country has said no US visitors, but because we have our permanent residence documents (work permits) we'll be allowed to re-enter. Maybe EU countries will be like that, along with a quarantine?

I would reiterate--visitors are not the same as incoming workers. The ban is directed at tourists. I would assume there would be wiggle room for people coming into secured jobs. My host country has banned incoming people, but our school was able to get exemptions for our incoming teachers. I think it will depend on your school's HR ability to work their magic.

HR worked their magic: I'm in. Such relief.
