– The Wall Street Journal (WSJ) reported on the 12th (local time) that the U.S. government will be required to submit a negative confirmation of the novel coronavirus infection (Corona 19) from the end of this month when it reaches all international flights to the U.S.
WSJ quoted a source and said that the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) will soon announce an order to submit negative Corona 19 confirmations for passengers on flights coming from abroad for quarantine. This policy is expected to take effect on the 26th.
Corona 19 negative confirmation must be submitted by foreign passengers as well as U.S. citizens.
Earlier, the United States required all passengers on flights departing from the United Kingdom to submit a negative Corona 19 confirmation letter when entering the United States. Afterwards, the White House Corona 19 Task Force (TF) began reviewing plans to expand the request for negative Corona 19 tests to all countries.
Prior to the United States, Canada has mandated all international flights from the 7th to submit a negative corona 19 test confirmation to the airline before boarding.
