Travelling To The US under the Muslim ban

About the Muslim ban (executive order 13769) I've searched about it and what I could understand is that people from Iran, Libya, North Korea, Somali, Syria, Yemen and Venezuela are banned from entering the US or getting a US Visa.

My question is until when will the people from these countries will stay banned, and can those people now in May 2019, get a Visa for the US or enter it normally?

Entering the US remains difficult due to COVID travel bans and embassy closures, but at least this particular obstacle is now history.
