The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) announced on March 10 that it had terminated the order requiring a negative pre-departure COVID-19 test for aircraft passengers traveling to the United States from the People’s Republic of China (PRC), as well as from the Special Administrative Regions of Hong Kong and Macau. The new announcement from the CDC also terminates the requirement that passengers transiting Incheon International Airport (South Korea), Toronto Pearson International Airport (Canada), and Vancouver International Airport (Canada) on their way to the United States provide a negative COVID-19 test if they have been in the PRC, Hong Kong or Macau in the last 10 days.
