US President Joe Biden launched an all-out battle against Corona 19 on the 21st (local time), with quarantine policies for travelers visiting the US and measures to expand screening and vaccination in relation to countermeasures against the new coronavirus infection (Corona 19). .
President Biden signed 10 executive orders at the White House on the government’s response to Corona 19.
President Biden said that more than 400,000 Americans were killed in Corona 19, more than those who died in World War II, calling the order “this is a matter of war.” He was also concerned that the death toll in the United States could exceed 500,000 next month.
President Biden said: “In addition to wearing a mask, all persons traveling from other countries to the United States must be screened before boarding a plane, prior to departure, and must be quarantined when they arrive in the United States.”
In this regard, the Associated Press reported that foreign travelers must present negative results of the Corona 19 test before leaving for the United States and be quarantined upon arrival.
However, President Biden’s order says that, if possible, air travelers should adhere to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) guidelines on international travel, including the recommended self-quarantine period, but not explains how it will be implemented. Reuters said.
The screening requirements for travelers to the United States were also announced by the former Donald Trump administration, but the quarantine was only a recommendation.
The order also included instructing US agencies to consult with border Canada and Mexico on public health protocols at points of entry, including implementation of CDC guidelines.
