The
Centers for Disease Control says all international travelers, including
Americans, must test negative for COVID-19 before boarding a flight to the U.S.
The new restrictions take effect Jan. 26. Air
passengers are required to get a viral test within the three days before their
flight to the U.S, and then, they must provide written documentation of the
test results.
The
airlines must then confirm the negative test result before they board. If a
passenger does not provide documentation of a negative test, the airline is
supposed to not let them get on the flight.
The
CDC also recommends travelers get tested three to five days after returning to
the states.
