The White House said on Friday that the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention will lift its requirement for air travelers to get a negative COVID-19 test before entering the United States.
The requirement will be lifted at 12:01 a.m. ET, according to a senior administration official.
The decision came, according to the official, as the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has determined based on science that the requirement is no longer necessary.
The decision will be reassessed in 90 days and the health agency plans to evaluate it on an ongoing basis.
