There's no testing at borders in the countries I'm aware of that have eliminated COVID-19. How it works is that very few people are allowed in at all, and every single person who _is_ allowed in is force-quarantined for two weeks in facilities specifically built/converted for secure quarantine. Outbreaks that _have_ happened tend to start from guards in quarantine facilities, not from someone slipping by border security (which is hard to mess up if you let in single-digit numbers of people per day).
- nickthemagicman 6y agoSomething like 3% of the population in America is illegally immigrants, that's millions of people. And we have a huge border control service. Are you arguing that it's possible to close the borders in the United States? Like that is an actual option? Do you think other countries don't have illegal immigration as well? Do you think those illegal immigrants are going to voluntarily present themselves to get tested?
