The United States will require a negative COVID-19 test taken before departure from anyone traveling from China starting Jan. 5, according to federal health officials.

The announcement on Wednesday was made by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

"All air passengers two years and older originating from China will be required to get a test no more than two days before their departure from China, Hong Kong or Macau and show a negative test results to the airlines upon departure," Dr. Henry Walke, director of CDC Center for Preparedness and Response, said in a statement.

"This will also apply to persons traveling from the PRC via third country transit into passengers connecting through the United States onward to further destinations due to the current volume of passengers from the PRC and transit in Incheon International Airport, Toronto Pearson International Airport and Vancouver International Airport On the way to the United States," Walke added.

Travelers flying through those airports will need to provide a negative COVID-19 test no more than two days before their departure to the U.S. if they were in China within the last 10 days.

Walke also said incoming passengers who tested positive for COVID-19 more than 10 days before the flight can provide documentation of recovery instead of a negative result.

Nearly half of the passengers on two separate flights this week from China to Milan tested positive for COVID, and now health officials in Italy have announced that they will test all travelers coming from the eastern Asia country.


even though its Italy, the US isn't taking any chances I suppose.

tests aren't any better. remember all the fun confusion from the CDC... you can have a negative test but still have the virus, you just tested when the virus wasn't "detectable". when is the "window" for detection? can't recall specifically but recall something like you could carry it undetected for weeks.

guess they in a surplus of those tests and they need to burn through em

What’s the survival rate of this virus?

[Seatard]

What’s the survival rate of this virus?

The survival rate isn't terrible so far, but the point is not to overwhelm our healthcare system and the heroes who work tirelessly to save lives.

Testing people entering the country and quarantining those with positive results will help flatten the curve. Mask up, get tested. Should take about two weeks.

How bout that week delay though?

A friends mom died in China and he was going home to bury her and plan the funeral.
China stuck him in a hotel for ***3 weeks only allowing him to be tested and get his food from the doorway**** before he could leave his room.
A test ain't chit compared to what they did to a US citizen trying to bury his parent!

[HappyNewWincel]

Hilarious how Biden basically does the exact same thing as Trump on an even grander scale. I fkn hate this country and the idiots who vote for these people. All of you deserve to get nuked by Putin.

Not that there is anything wrong with this specific policy. They can and should screen covid risks.

Definitely not mentally ill.

Don't they require any non-citizen boarding a plane to the US to have a negative test AND vaccines?

So, the not-China virus is having a resurgence in China and now they're concerned with people traveling from China, and it's okay. Mm hmm.

In a statement explaining the testing, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention cited the surge in infections and what it said was a lack of adequate and transparent information from China, including genomic sequencing on the viral strains circulating in the country.

But the CDC's action may be less about stopping a new variant from crossing U.S. borders and more about increasing pressure on China to share more information, said Dr. David Dowdy, an infectious disease epidemiologist at Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health

Yeah, because I'm sure China really gives a shiit and this will be the straw that finally causes them to be upfront.

The U.S. action is a return to testing requirements for some international travelers. The Biden administration lifted the last of such mandates in June. At that time, the CDC continued to recommend that people boarding flights to the U.S. get tested close to departure time and not travel if they are sick.

“We’ve done this before. We can do it again,” Dowdy said.

Why do I get the feeling that they're not only talking about travel restrictions...

Cut 'em some slack, it's hard to remember when the goal posts are in a state of perpetual motion.

Interesting.

I wonder why it's not considered to be a risk until Jan. 5th.

Or why it wasn't considered a risk last month, or pretty much for the entire year of 2022.

"We are aware of a problem but we won't act like it's a problem until several days from now."

Maybe the virus is on holiday, kind of like how it is courteous enough to not infect people while they're in restaurants so long as they wear their masks waiting to be seated.

[ltsOgre]

I don't agree with this. It's not based in science.

[-JR]

Lol. Is this real life?

Nah. China changed their policy and relaxed some mandates and lockdowns leading to a huge surge in cases. That surge is what is alarming the govt here and causing them to impose travel screenings. The virus does not go on holiday. It is airborne. If you take off your N95 mask for any reason, you are exposed.
