U.S. Extends Vaccine Mandate for Foreign Visitors to April 10

The Biden administration in Washington today (Jan. 4) extended the enforcement of its vaccine mandate for all foreign air travelers entering the United States.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) policy was set to expire Jan. 8, according to CBS News, “but will now be enforced until at least April 10, based on a new emergency amendment issued by the Transportation Security Administration (TSA).”

The U.S. just recently announced that passengers on flights coming from The People’s Republic of China, Hong Kong and Macao would have to show proof of a negative COVID-19 test.

Canada announced a similar policy earlier this week. But, unlike the U.S., the Canadian government does NOT require foreign visitors to show proof of vaccination.
