CDC lifts COVID-19 testing requirement for international visitors

Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) Director Rochelle Walensky signed an order on Friday ending a requirement for international visitors to show a negative COVID-19 test or proof of recovery from the virus before boarding flights to the US.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention will lift its requirement that air travelers show proof of a negative Covid-19 test before entering the United States, according to a Biden administration official.

The U.S. will lift its COVID-19 test requirement for international air travel, one of the last government mandates meant to contain the coronavirus.

What people are saying?

Gary Clark Why is it this government is pro EVERYONE except it’s own citizens? Or is that just my feeling? Sometimes I’m tempted to give up my citizenship and come back as an illegal. I’d get better treatment and benefits!

Dr. Dennis Spence As always, the government lags behind the real science of the entire COVID debacle. I just visited Canada and while my sister and her husband paid $120 for testing before flying back, I drove back with a friend crossing border with simple driver’s license ID. No rhyme or reason!
