#International #Travel #COVID19 #test

A new federal policy that begins on 26 January 2021, will require all persons headed to the US from international airports to show proof that they are negative for COVID-19 within 3 days before boarding.

Dr. Robert R. Redfield, director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) is expected to sign the order soon. 

In a statement Dr. Redfield admitted that “*testing does not eliminate all risk,*” but it helps when “*combined with a period of staying home and everyday precautions like wearing masks and social distancing*.”

The new rule applies to everyone regardless of vaccination status.

The reason is because *“the vaccines have only been shown to prevent serious illness,”* and therefore vaccinated persons possibly could still infect someone, according to a spokesman for the CDC.

Have a healthy day, Keep the Faith!
