The Biden administration is 'actively looking' at requiring COVID-19 tests before domestic flights, according to a senior CDC official.

The Biden administration is"actively looking" at requiring COVID-19 tests before domestic flights, a senior Centers for Disease Control and Prevention official said on Tuesday.

This would be an expansion of the administration's mandatory testing requirement for U.S.-bound travelers "We urge folks to postpone their trips if they're able," acting Assistant Secretary of Consular Affairs Ian Brownlee said Tuesday,"and if they absolutely must travel to equip themselves with information."People walk through a nearly empty international terminal at John F.

CAN YOU STOP JOE BIDEN? WORRY ABOUT THESE MF STOCKS AND STUDENT LOANS!!!!

This is the most ridiculous thing! I am a nurse, I was preciously exposed, I got tested, it was negative, but I couldn’t return to work for 3 more days because they could of tested me too early ( I was told) This is not logical. Wake up people! When is enough, enough!!!

As much as I love President Biden; what would happen if someone had a family life or death situation and had to rush to catch an emergency flight to get to family far away? No time for a Covid test in that situation!!!😢

Make it mandatory. Since there’s no lockdown. Get this damn pandemic under control. I’m fed up!

This is going to be the way they get people to take the vaccine...life will become miserable without it. The next step will be you need a test if you don’t have vaccine... same thing will happen with large venue’s like sporting events and concerts

It will help.

$XSPA is the No.1 to take this project. It has all required information and infrastructure.

If people had just acted right in the beginning, it wouldn't have had to come to this.

Going to San Jose airport tomorrow for a quick turn around Covid test 🤑

Do the rapid tests at the airports. Useless days ahead, may still catch something between then and flying. Also, then people don't have to try to schedule them, if they're just available where you're at, way easier to comply.

Most people are awakening to the tyrannical bs using covid as an excuse to exert more control on them. People don’t believe you corrupt mainstream media anymore

This should have been done back when this all began.

Vocês ainda vão chorar muito por não ter brigado pelo seu país ! A casa branca está envolta em trevas agora !

I honestly thought this was already a requirement. Shows how much I know.

Definitely in favor of this!

That’s great, but some areas of the country have very limited, if any, testing. Or even you can get a test, results take days, which will make it difficult to time it before a flight. Can’t make it a requirement if you don’t have access to tests or timely results!
