Entry into the United States is getting more and more difficult. Joe Biden’s administration is considering a’mandatory quarantine’ measure for all overseas visitors, including South Korea. Following the request for a pre-submission of a negative test certificate for the novel coronavirus infection (Corona 19), the regulatory level has been raised further. It seems to be an instructive measure taking into account the spread of Corona 19 in the United States, which is rarely broken.
President Biden said on the 21st (local time) at the meeting signing 10 executive orders related to Corona 19 response, “Everyone coming to the United States from another country needs to be inspected before boarding the aircraft and quarantined after arrival.” . The current recommendation is to make it mandatory to quarantine immigrants. Details such as the timing of implementation were not disclosed.
If quarantine measures are implemented, Korea will also enter the subject. On the 12th, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) demanded that from the 26th, foreigners entering Korea and abroad must submit a negative Corona 19 confirmation. Accordingly, you will not be able to board an aircraft to the United States unless you present your test certificate that you have received a negative test within three days (72 hours) before departure.
Although the COVID-19 vaccination has been in full swing, the infection situation in the United States is still serious. At the beginning of the year, the cumulative death toll exceeded 400,000, and if this trend is the case, an additional 100,000 people could die by the 13th of next month.
Given the circumstances, measures are being taken to more thoroughly block external inflows. On the 24th of last month, due to the outbreak of the mutant virus, passengers on flights departing from the UK were obliged to submit negative corona 19 reports. On the 18th of this month, former President Donald Trump announced that he would lift the comprehensive entry restrictions applied to the European Union, the United Kingdom and Brazil from March last year, but the Biden Transition Committee immediately rejected it. At the time, Biden emphasized that it was “planning to strengthen public health response measures surrounding international travel.”
