Summary of CDC's Lifting of COVID-19 Test Requirement for Air Entry to US

On June 12, 2022, the CDC ended the requirement for a negative COVID-19 test taken within one day before boarding a US-bound aircraft, applicable to all travelers regardless of citizenship. This canceled a policy that had been in place since January 2021. However, the proof of COVID-19 vaccination is still required for non-US citizen non-immigrants. This change simplifies travel by removing the need for advance test planning and reduces uncertainties for foreign nationals. The requirement could be re-imposed if a highly transmissible variant emerges, and the CDC recommends continuing testing as a safety measure. The Biden administration will review the policy in 90 days to decide on reinstatement.
