CDC Makes Changes To International Air Travel Restrictions

Starting Monday, passengers from certain countries entering the US will no longer need to be directed to specific airports or undergo enhanced health screenings. These measures, initially applied to travelers from China, Iran, Brazil, and several European nations, are being revised by the CDC due to a better understanding of virus transmission. The new approach will focus on predeparture and post-arrival education, developing a testing framework with international partners, and illness response strategies.
