Beginning Sept. 14, the government will lift its flight directing requirements.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) announced Wednesday that international travelers will no longer be required to undergo enhanced COVID-19 testing upon their arrival to the U.S.
The CDC said in their announcement that international arrivals will not be screened for COVID-19 because “symptom-based screening has limited effectiveness” and asymptomatic passengers could continue to transmit the virus while passing the screening. Instead, the CDC will pivot its COVID-19 efforts “to more effective mitigation efforts that focus on the individual passenger.”
