Starting from the end of this month, if you want to board a flight to the United States, you must get a negative test for the novel coronavirus infection (Corona 19). The U.S. government has expanded the measure, which was now mandatory for entrants from the UK, to all entrants.
According to the Wall Street Journal of the United States and Japan, on the 12th (local time), the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) announced that the order will be implemented from the 26th. You must present proof that you were negative 3 days prior to departure before boarding the flight to the United States. Earlier, the US made it mandatory for all passengers on flights departing from the UK to test negative for COVID-19 at the end of last year as the spread of mutant Corona 19 became serious in the UK. Since then, the CDC has been discussing ways to expand this measure with the federal government and the White House.
CDC Director Robert Redfield said in a statement that “prosecution does not eliminate all risks,” but “combined with routine precautions such as home quarantine, wearing a mask, and social distancing can make travel safer and healthier.” Explained. According to the Daily Washington Post, all entrants destined for the United States from more than 100 countries must submit negative reports. In fact, it is implemented in all countries, including Korea. Currently, 100,000 travelers visit the United States every day.
The aviation industry is in a position that it is better to enter the country when the corona 19 negative is confirmed rather than comprehensive entry restrictions. The United States currently prohibits foreigners who are not American nationals from entering the country, such as the United Kingdom and Europe. Airlines for America, an interest group of American airlines, expressed expectations that the direction of quarantine policy should go in the direction of lifting these restrictions. In a letter to Vice President Mike Pence, who heads the White House Corona Task Force (TF) on the 4th, Nick Callio Airlines for America representative said, “Even in countries where COVID-19 screening is limited, passengers destined for the United States should be able to receive screening quickly. Also conveyed the position.
On the other hand, Ireland also announced that they can only enter the country if they test negative within 72 hours of departure from the 15th. Currently, the measures to be implemented only for those arriving from Britain and South Africa where the mutant virus has been found have been expanded. Previously, Canada also mandated the submission of negative Corona 19 confirmation for passengers flying to Canada.
