US scraps COVID-19 test requirement for international travelers

The Biden administration is lifting its requirement that international travelers test negative for COVID-19 within a day before boarding a flight to the United States.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) announced on Friday that the requirement will end early on Sunday morning. The health agency said it will continue to monitor the state of the pandemic and will reassess the need for a testing requirement if the situation changes.
“This step is possible because of the progress we’ve made in our fight against COVID-19,” said US Health Secretary Xavier Becerra.
Roger Dow, president of the US Travel Association, called lifting the testing rule “another huge step forward for the recovery of inbound air travel and the return of international travel to the United States.”The post US scraps COVID-19 test requirement for international travelers first appeared on Ariana News.
