Visitors are not barred from entry, so long as they don’t stop at any countries with a travel ban based on physical presence along the way.

 

Most consulates are not processing tourist visa cases right now. Keep checking.

Most embassies are not issueing B1/B2 visas. They are prioritizing Immediate family base visas such as Cr1 and Ir1 and 2.

You should advise the relative not to break immigration law by using a tourist visa to immigrate.
