End COVID Testing Requirement To Enter U.S


End COVID Testing Requirement To Enter U.S
The Issue
This petition is calling for the U.S. to eliminate testing requirements for incoming, vaccinated travelers. While we understand the rationale behind the inbound testing order, it continues to present a number of practical challenges to American travelers.
These challenges range from uncertainty as to the availability of timely testing in-destination to avoid disruption to their return trip, to the financial and psychological burdens associated with being prevented from returning home due to a positive (or false positive) test result. Challenges also includes increased financial cost to travelers as international covid test range prices up to hundreds of dollars.
We urgently request that the Administration remove the requirement for pre-departure testing for vaccinated passengers traveling to the United States. Doing so is justified by the reduction of COVID cases in all 50 states, increased immunity, and higher vaccination rates as well as new treatments.
Other nations, specifically the UK have concluded that the cost to both passengers and airlines of the testing mandate could no longer be justified as there was no evidence the regime protected the population from COVID. Not only does the US still have a testing requirement it is one of the most stringent in the world with a minimum 1 day requirement.
please sign and share this petition and ask your local and state representatives to join the American people, Airlines, and travel groups in asking the Biden administration to drop Covid testing requirements for incoming international flights.
