U.K. Visitors Must Test Negative For COVID Before Traveling To U.S.

Air travelers from the UK to the US must test negative for COVID-19 before boarding. The CDC emphasizes this measure to protect public health amid reports of a new, more transmissible variant in the UK. Although this variant is not considered more dangerous or resistant to vaccines, several countries have banned UK flights. The US has reduced UK travel by 90% since March. A potential new variant in Nigeria is noted, but no US travel restrictions are in place for Nigeria.
