    Oops...you beat me to this! I also posted. Looks like they'll re-evaluate in 90 days, but looks like a step in the right direction.

    It's been announced officially. Effective this Sunday, June 12, 2022, COVID tests are not required to enter the US. They'll re-evaluate in 90 days, but I take that to mean they'll start looking at it in 90 days. So, it's probably good until the end of the year, as a minimum.

    But that means there will be people on the aircraft with active cases of COVID, maybe sitting next to you.

    Yes! What a relief!I can’t imagine this requirement will be reinstated given the current status of Covid-19 in spite of variants:lower morbidity,effective antiviral meds and fairly decent vaccination and booster rates.The threat of quarantine in an unfamiliar place for uncertain duration no longer need to spoil our vacation enjoyment.There is a God after all.
