The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) is seeking public comments on a proposal concerning the collection of information related to COVID-19 tests for airline passengers entering the United States. This proposal requires passengers to present either a negative COVID-19 test taken within three days before their flight or documentation of recovery from the virus. There are some exemptions, such as for certain federal personnel and urgent humanitarian cases. The CDC aims to prevent COVID-19 transmission while acknowledging the potential costs and efforts involved in implementing these requirements.
Simple Explanation
The CDC wants to know what people think about their idea that anyone flying into the United States must show they don't have COVID or have already gotten better from it. They also want to make sure this plan isn't too hard or expensive for travelers and airlines.
