CDC issues new international travel rules
The CDC issued new international travel rules Tuesday that they hope will help slow the spread of the coronavirus.
Posted — UpdatedPassengers arriving to the U.S. from other countries must now provide proof of a negative COVID-19 test result no more than three days before their flight departs. As an alternative, passengers may also provide proof that they have fully recovered from COVID-19 prior to boarding their flight.
"Variants of the SARS-CoV-2 virus continue to emerge in countries around the world, and there is evidence of increased transmissibility of some of these variants," the CDC said in a statement. "With the US already in surge status, the testing requirement for air passengers will help slow the spread of the virus as we work to vaccinate the American public."
