The Washington Post says that three U.S. officials who did not want to be named said that the U.S. will stop requiring new crown inspections for Chinese travelers as soon as ten days from now (local time).
Sources say the plan was finished on Tuesday, but the White House didn’t say anything about it (7). Reports say that national security and health officials decided this week to stop requiring Chinese travelers to take tests before entering the U.S. They are expected to notify U.S. airlines and Chinese diplomats before making the policy public.
The three officials said that the decision prioritizes public health over foreign policy. They also noted that other countries, like Japan, which had similar testing requirements for Chinese travelers, have loosened them.
