WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The Biden administration will drop pre-departure COVID-19 international air testing requirements effective Sunday at 12:01 a.m. after heavy lobbying from airlines and the travel industry.

 

The Biden administration will announce on Friday that the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) will no longer require pre-departure COVID-19 testing for travelers coming to the United States after it determined based on the science and data that this requirement is no longer necessary.

 

The CDC will do a reassessment of this decision in 90 days, the official said.

So... how will this impact us in Thailand? Would I still need a test if I transited on way to US, through Taiwan, for example?

Has the word gotten out to the various air authorities hither and yon?

Hither and yon to all and sundry. Transit passengers are banned thru Taiwan through Sept 30 2022 by the way.
