Buttigieg mentions the possible requisition for the airways inside the United States in an interview the domingo with “Axios in HBO”.
“This is a conversation about the CDC and the moment,” said Buttigieg and Axios. “What can be said is that there will be guidance on the dates, the science, the medicine and the contributions of the people who tend to be there.”

“In the media in which we are testing available to be able to apply, first lie, encourage the people not to travel”, Walensky said during an information session at Casa Blanca. “But if we do, it will be another means of mitigation to intend to reduce the propaganda.”
Proof of national travel versus proof of international travel
The discussion was based on a standard of the CDC that entered into force in the final of the year, which requires international travelers, citizens and residents who enter the United States to present negative results of covid-19.
The Association of Roads of EE.UU., a national organism without fines between the sector, elogation is a rule for the entry of travelers and the classification as “key to repair the international routes”.
Without embargo, the group does not support the same requirement for national air travelers.
The group classifies the mandatory tests for national travelers as “small practices”, and says that there are no definite entry points and that the middle ground should “deviate from the public health outcomes of other priorities”.
Other groups plantean preoccupations
Lugdiens vir Amerika (A4A), another sector within the sector, also expressed concern about the possible need for trials for national airways.
In a recent survey conducted at Casa Blanca, the organization set out the media based on the risk to detain the transmission of covid-19 that the industry has adopted and the investigations that show the risk of infection during the flight is bad.
“Given the solid scientific evidence that the transmission risk of covid-19 aboard an aircraft is very bad, we believe that a requirement for testing for national airways is not justified,” the map reads.
“In addition, economic data and public health indicators show that this policy avoids disproportionate forms of large-scale urban travel and rural areas of small communities that could fly.”
A4A also has an eco of the EE.UU Travel Association preoccupation. of which tales test deviate recourse to the priorities of public health most urgent.
