Biden to restrict travel into US for everyone except for illegal immigrants
Former Vice President Joe Biden will soon announce tighter Covid restrictions including requiring a negative Covid test just one day prior to travel for everyone traveling into the United States except, of course for illegal immigrants.
Three White House officials confirmed that a tightened testing window, first reported by The Washington Post, is coming. One official said Biden himself will soon announce the new requirements, ahead of another busy holiday travel period looming in mere weeks.
In addition, the officials acknowledged that additional quarantine measures are under consideration but said there are no current plans to implement any.
The CDC said it is working to modify the current global testing order for travel as more data comes in on the Omicron variant, and recommends all passengers should still get a viral test 3-5 days following travel. Unvaccinated travelers should quarantine upon arrival, the CDC said.
