The Biden administration will stop requiring air travelers to take Covid-19 tests in order to fly to the U.S. starting on Sunday, said federal officials, ending one of the last vestiges of travel restrictions employed during the pandemic to try to stem the spread of the disease.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has determined that people flying to the U.S. from abroad no longer need to test negative a day before their departures, based on available science and data, one of the officials said, ending a requirement that has been in place since last year.
