Washington, Dec 26 : The United States has made the COVID-19 negative report mandatory for all the air passengers arriving from the United Kingdom as a precautionary move against the new coronavirus strain.
The passenger has to provide a covid negative report tested via either a PCR (polymerase chain reaction) or an antigen test within 72 hours of departure.
The rapid spread of the new coronavirus has led the nation to ban travel restrictions with many countries.
The decision by the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention to require testing came after New York City introduced quarantine rules for international travellers in response to the variant.
