Travelers to the United States will soon no longer be faced with a testing requirement for COVID-19, according to multiple reports — a potential boon for New York’s lagging tourism trade.
The Port Authority of New York and New Jersey, which controls the region’s three major airports, did not immediately respond to requests for comment on the testing requirement.
U.S.-bound travelers have been asked to present a negative COVID-19 test before entering the country since early 2021, with limited exceptions. The expected move — which airlines have been— marks the latest big change to hit the landscape of public transportation in America since the federal mask requirement was lifted in April.
The Metropolitan Transportation Authority has continued to require face coverings on mass transit, including New York City subways and buses. Taxis and other for-hire vehicles managed by the city’s Taxi and Limousine Commission, have continued to require masks as well. The New York City region has long relied on a tourism economy that has undergone severe hardships from the coronavirus pandemic.
The city is back to relaxing its COVID-19 protocols, after a surge in hospitalizations pushed its risk levels
