    The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has issued an order requiring all passengers traveling to the United States from a foreign country to provide either a negative COVID-19 test result or documentation of recovery from the virus. This rule applies to passengers aged two and above and aims to prevent the spread of COVID-19 and its variants. Airlines must verify this information before boarding passengers, and failure to comply may result in penalties. The order takes effect on January 26, 2021, and will remain in place until further notice.
