Bookmark this story

The Biden administration and Canadian federal government are set to end their respective mandates for pre-departure COVID-19 testing for incoming international air travelers. Effective from Sunday in the U.S. and from June 11 in Canada, the move has been welcomed by various stakeholders in the travel industry. The U.S. policy change is largely due to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's declaration that such testing is no longer necessary. However, international travelers should keep abreast of any specific entry requirements from airlines and their destination states.
