PASSENGERS flying from a U.S. territory or possession to a U.S. state are not required to show proof of a negative Covid-19 test, according to the United Airlines corporate communications office for Asia-Pacific.
Starting Jan. 26, the U.S. will require a negative Covid-19 test or documentation of recovery for all incoming international travelers, including U.S. citizens.
Asked about the impact on CNMI travelers, United Airlines said: “What we understand for this order is that ‘United States’ is defined as the 50 states, District of Columbia, and the territories of the United States, including Guam and the Northern Mariana Islands.”
United Airlines then directed Variety to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention website for additional information: https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/travelers/testing-international-air-travelers.html
In a notice issued on Jan. 19, United Airlines stated: “This requirement does not apply to children under 2 or those traveling entirely within the United States, including the 50 U.S. states, American Samoa, Guam, the Northern Mariana Islands, Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands.”
