The CDC says it will continue to monitor COVID-19 cases around the world as it ends mandatory tests for travellers from China
The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention confirmed on Wednesday it plans to end mandatory COVID-19 tests for travellers from China, joining other countries in eliminating the requirements.
The CDC said on Wednesday that the “public health measure was put in place to protect U.S. citizens and communities as we worked to both identify the size of the surge and gain better insights into the variants that were circulating.”Last week, Japan dropped a requirement that everyone take a test for the virus upon arrival from China.
“We were aware that there was a large wave of infections in and there was a lack of transparency by the PRC, meaning we had little information about the size of the surge or the variants that were circulating within,” the CDC said.
