With new mutant viruses, Omicron strains being confirmed one after another in each country, the US CDC = Centers for Disease Control and Prevention is required to test for the new coronavirus when entering the United States by air as part of strengthening border control measures. It was revealed that we are considering shortening the number from within 3 days before departure to within 1 day.
The United States is currently using documents certifying that it has been more than two weeks since the vaccination was completed, and a virus test received within three days before departure, for those who enter the country by air. You are required to show a document showing that you were negative.
With Omicron stocks being confirmed around the world, CDC Director Warrensky said at a press conference on the 30th of last month that he was "considering ways to make international travel as safe as possible" and strengthened border measures. I have shown my thoughts to consider.
Regarding this, the CDC told NHK on the 1st that it is considering tightening the timing of inspections for travelers entering the country by air and shortening it within one day before departure.
In addition, the CDC says it will strengthen its virus testing system for arriving travelers at four other airports, including John F. Kennedy International Airport in New York, where many international flights arrive and depart.
