US to require negative COVID-19 tests for arriving international passengers

[TaylorSwift 162,746]

Nearly all air travelers will need to present a negative coronavirus test to enter the United States under expanded test testing requirements announced on Tuesday.

Under the rules taking effect Jan. 26, nearly all travelers including U.S. citizens must show a negative test within three days of departure or documentation of recovery from COVID-19

All travelers aged 2 and older must comply except passengers who are only transiting through the United States.

Unfortunately I fear you'll end up the same as the UK.

Our government never downplayed anything yet people still don't take it seriously here.

Same here in the UK...the West obviously gearing up for vaccine passports. Either way, this should have been implemented MANY MONTHS ago.

Finally! Does anyone know what the quarantine laws are? Where I live in Canada people have to quarantine for two week after entering the province. And some people have to take a test even during quarantine, like international students for exmaple.

So I’m not the only one wondering how this is JUST being put into “law” cool

Mexico should follow so we could keep all the pariahs out

This should have been done literally March 2020.

Meanwhile the cases every day in this country are an absolute disaster, as if this will do anything when the country itself can't even get it together

Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has also discussed the idea of expanding the testing requirement to domestic U.S. flights but emphasized the new order only applies to international flights.
