Got a link? If that was so, the various forums would be in meltdown.
AFAIR Richard Barrow himself mentioned it in his Facebook post where he reported about the new law. It’s either in the main post itself or in the comments section. Pretty sure I saw it there.
//edit: here’s the screenshot from his Facebook post:

Not sure how self-quarantining would help. How do you prove to an immigration officer that you have that you have been self-quarantining for weeks? An affidavit ? Like they would believe you??
Self-quarantine not to replace the test, but to make sure that you don’t catch the virus exactly during the time when you need to go for your extension.

4 minutes ago, my friend you said:
The PCR Test is not admitted for diagnostic purposes.
Utter nonsense that has no scientific foundation and is only being touted by conspiracy theorists.
4 minutes ago, my friend you said:So this PCR Test has a high rate of false positives.
Same as above, utter nonsense. The specificity and sensitivity numbers say the exact opposite.
4 minutes ago, my friend you said:It is illegal now in Portugal and Bosnia to use it for diagnosis.
No, it’s not.
(Just for fun: How would you test if any of the above was only remotely true? Use your local mor-doo?)

For newly incoming people as part of their visa application, generally this would make sense. But since there’s a quite invasive quarantine process (with several Covid tests) in place already, it also seems a bit redundant.
For those already in the country, I guess one may argue that carrying out more tests is always good. But, of course, only subjecting foreigners to mandatory regular testing seems illogical at best or even discriminating for some, as the virus doesn’t care about nationality.
My biggest concern is how they plan to use the test result for the actual process. If they deny the extension based on this, it would be a bummer. Then you better self-quarantine some weeks before your appointment as a precaution.

I just renewed mine based on marriage it didn’t even come up lol, wasn’t even mentioned. Honestly I stopped reading these articles a while ago.
I understand the new law will come into effect by the end of this month.
But apparently some foreigners already got asked for a Covid test when they went to get their visa extension.

No exponential growth, and weekly averages are declining. That’s good news.

Why would they impeach him and then not sentence him?
You said “to prevent him from running again they only need a normal majority”. I was referring to this.
You are now talking about the impeachment. To convict him there, they need 2/3 of senators.

The Democrats will have the senate in a couple of days, to prevent him from running ever again they only need a normal majority which they have.
I wasn’t aware of that. Whether they’ll do it is a different story though.

"Colorado officials have written to congressional leadership requesting an investigation into Representative Lauren Boebert’s actions leading up to the attack on the United States Capitol last week.
You can bet your ass that she and everyone else who participated in this insurrection (including those who did before and in the background) as well as anyone planning new attacks have already been pardoned. Whether that’s politicians, senators, lawyers, or just a shaman dressed nutter.
He just couldn’t tweet about it.
The only one who potentially could be prosecuted will be Trump himself (and maybe some small fish who he didn’t know their names).

We had a referendum on whether to remain in or leave the EU in 1974. So why then did we need another one in 2016? I voted to remain in 1974 and now my vote has been disrespected.
Because Brexiteers claim they have the authority to tell how many years need to pass before people are allowed to vote again.

Yes, you told us you were a vassal state that needs to take back control to regain sovereignty. So you should support the Scots.

Say what you will about Trump, however as soon as he was sworn in the US economy boomed. Some argued that it was because Obama's policies but you can't argue the results. Honestly the only reason Trump lost was because of the pandemic. His other faults were just annoying but his policies were not bad.
He did policies between tweeting and golfing?

He did so in the same world where widespread voter fraud and aliens eating little children in pizza shop basements exist.

It’s a bit of an understatement, as not only a cop was killed during the violent attack that he incited.

You think there is an off-chance that democracy will vote in Trump again and you want the people in power now to prevent democracy taking place if that is the outcome?
That’s what the US did with Hitler. In both cases it’s justified, and for similar reasons. I suggest you don’t pretend to be more stupid than we think a Trump fanboy is.

Nope.

I’m afraid that’s how democracy works in case you haven’t noticed.

I read travel news everyday. I saw that weeks ago. Tyrannical nonsense , some airlines CEO giving his opinion on the matter. Its not up to airlines, only governments. Who will follow what the IATA, WTTC, and WHO put out. Which is always testing remains the only way.
If the airline doesn’t want to fly people that didn’t get vaccinated, what you gonna do? The governments won’t be able to do anything; in fact, it’s more likely that they will set incentives like this for people to get vaccinated. I.e., we won’t force you to get a vaccination, but you won’t be able to do a, b, and c (while, of course, it’s absurd that they actually have to set additional incentives on top of the protection the vaccination itself provides, just because people like you choose to believe the conspiracy nonsense they read on dubious blogs).

Quotebut occupying the Capitol did not seem that violent to what I had seen.
...this. Were your “American commentators outside the mainstream media” broadcasting a special on aliens eating little children in pizza shops and that’s why you didn’t see much of what was happening in the real world?

After he divided the country and groomed a mob of domestic terrorists to try a violent coup, it seems understandable that people don’t want him to come back. (And that’s not even considering all the embarrassments this clown has caused his country.)

Expats may need to take COVID-19 test in order to renew extensions of stay: Richard Barrow

I’ve added a screenshot of his Facebook post to my post above.
I wouldn’t be surprised if this goes similarly to other immigration rules in the past, where every immigration office/officer will interpret/enforce it differently as he understands or likes. Some will not have any issues, others will.
Anyway, it’s all speculation.
