Joe Biden’s US administration has launched an all-out battle to prevent the spread of Corona 19. Immediately, the barriers to entry were raised. President Biden signed an executive order on the 21st (local time) to strengthen inspection requirements for passengers entering the United States by aircraft. It contains a content that prevents you from boarding an aircraft to the United States if you do not receive a negative Corona 19 test before departure. This measure will take effect on the 26th.
Biden, all-out war as proliferation does not break
“Must be quarantined for 7 days after arrival”
It also demanded that all passengers entering the country from abroad follow the recommendations of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), which quarantine for 7 days after arriving in the United States. In this regard, President Biden instructed the cabinet to come up with a way to enforce this rule, which is now a recommendation that is not obligatory.
The executive order stipulated that US entrants must submit the results of the corona 19 negative test conducted within three days before departure when boarding the aircraft. In addition, after arriving in the U.S., they were required to undergo a corona19 test again between 3 and 5 days, and self-quarantine for 7 days even if they were negative.
Until now, the US government has mandated only passengers departing from the UK to submit negative corona 19 tests before departure. However, as the spread of Corona 19 did not stop, measures were expanded to passengers arriving from all over the world.
