Sister visiting me from Brazil

[Amscene1]

Hello, I am a legal permanent resident (green card holder). I know there are some restrictions about Brazilians visiting the US because of Covid although I miss my sister and would like her to visit me.

is this still possible with a standard visa? I read somewhere that close relatives are allowed to visit. Can anyone confirm?
