The United States has changed an important rule regarding Corona for international tourists. Under this, the requirement of corona test one day before boarding has been abolished. According to a senior administration official, the rule will expire after 12 noon on Sunday. The Center for Disease Control and Prevention has decided it is no longer needed, the official said.

Was made mandatory last year

The Biden administration made the test mandatory last year. It then lifted travel bans on many countries, including Europe, China, Brazil, South Africa, India and Iran. Instead, a rule was made that adults from other countries traveling to the U.S. must be fully vaccinated. After this, a rule was made that persons fully vaccinated would show evidence of a negative test three days before the trip. The test was requested from unvaccinated people a day before the trip.

There was also pressure from airlines and tourism groups

In November last year, when the threat of the Omicron variant was at its peak, the Biden administration tightened restrictions for all passengers. Meanwhile, restrictions were applied equally to all vaccinated and non-vaccinated people. Airlines and tourism groups, meanwhile, have been pushing the government to lift the ban. "People are avoiding going to America because of these sanctions," he said. Many other countries have removed testing rules for fully vaccinated people.
