Washington, December 5
The US has made it mandatory for all incoming passengers, including those from India, to carry a negative Covid-19 test report or a proof of recovery from the contagion amidst rising number of cases of the Omicron variant.
The new protocol comes into effect from December 6, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention within the Department of Health and Human Services has said.
“This amendment updates Covid-19 testing requirements for air passengers two years or older boarding a flight to the US,” Indian Government officials informed Indian-American community leaders on Saturday.
On Saturday, New York detected three more cases of the Omicron variant, bringing the total number of the state’s cases to eight. Seven of the new cases have been found in NY City. — PTI
