All foreign travelers flying to the U.S. will need to demonstrate proof of vaccination before boarding as well as proof of a negative Covid-19 test taken within three days of flight, said White House Covid-19 coordinator Jeff Zients, who announced the new policy on Monday.
Biden will also tighten testing rules for unvaccinated American citizens, who will need to be tested within a day before departure to the U.S., as well as on their return.
Fully vaccinated passengers will not be required to quarantine, Zients said.
Airlines will also require to collect contact information from international travelers to facilitate contact tracing, Zients said.
