A U.N.-led aviation task force aims to make a recommendation by late October on the use of COVID-19 testing to reduce long quarantine requirements that have decimated air travel, two sources said, following a meeting of the group on Tuesday.

The International Civil Aviation Organization-led CART task force plans to make a non-binding recommendation for countries on the use of testing at an October 29 meeting, although such efforts could be delayed, the sources said. It’s not yet clear what recommendation would be made over testing. Governments and industry groups are looking at options such as the use of bilateral agreements that would allow travellers to move between countries with similar infection rates without quarantines, or require testing in other cases.

And a plan proposed by the World Travel and Tourism Council , to be discussed by G20 leaders in early October, would allow travellers from “low-risk” countries to avoid quarantine altogether with a negative test result, the London Telegraph reported on Tuesday.
