Emergency Information Collection Request is designed to ensure that, consistent with the terms of CDCâs Order Requirements for Negative Pre-Departure COVID-19 Test Result or Documentation of Recovery from COVID-19 for all Airline or Other Aircraft Passengers Traveling to the United States from the Peopleâs Republic of China, air passengers from the Peopleâs Republic of China (PRC) or those boarding in Designated Airports who have been in PRC over the last 10 days show proof of a negative COVID-19 test or documentation of recovery from COVID-19 before boarding a flight to the United States.
Considering the potential danger to public health posed by emerging new variants in the Peopleâs Republic of China, CDC has determined that proactive, preventative measures must be implemented now to protect the U.S. population from potential importation, transmission and spread of new COVID-19 variants into the United States. Pre-departure testing and the requirement to show a negative test result decrease the number of infected passengers boarding airplanes and is a proactive, risk-based approach that will help to slow the spread of COVID-19 as we work to identify and understand any potential new variants that may emerge. Based on the lack of viral genomic sequence data in the Peopleâs Republic of China, this action is needed to allow U.S. public health officials the critical time needed to monitor the unprecedented surge of COVID-19 in the Peopleâs Republic of China effectively and to identify any potential variants of concern.
