Until now, to go to the United States, it was essential to bring a sheet of results stating that you had tested negative for Corona.
However, starting with flights arriving in the United States on Sunday, corona test results will no longer be required.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has decided to abolish the COVID-19 test requirement for people arriving by plane from the 12th eastern time in the United States, foreign media reported.
However, the CDC has decided to reassess the situation every 90 days after the policy goes into effect.
A senior U.S. official said he would not hesitate if a new strain of concern emerges that calls for reinforcing pre-departure testing requirements.
The U.S. is keeping the daily number of coronavirus cases in the low 100,000 range.
The death toll is 300 per day, which is a relatively low level.
The U.S. airline industry has demanded that the U.S. inspection requirements be repealed, saying they are unnecessary regulations that slow international travel.
In particular, they argued that it is unreasonable to require only air passengers, although there is no need for corona tests when entering the United States via land from Canada and Mexico.
The U.S.'s measures to ease coronavirus testing are expected to affect other countries, including Korea, where the situation is being managed stably.
