Most US states already require a negative test or quarantine, with some exceptions. The only issue is that almost no one is enforcing it (maybe some airports do, I'm not sure). It makes sense if it becomes like visa where airlines wouldn't let you board the plane without it (until things are under control). It can be an issue for emergency travel though. Thinking about it, this should be of interest of airlines to protect their staff.
- jeffbee 6y agoRight. Santa Clara County, California, has a mandatory 10-day quarantine for anyone arriving from more than 150 miles from its borders. This notice is posted in the airport but aside from that there is no framework for enforcement. It is not even all that easy to figure out what territory is outside this zone and the county does not provide a map.
- ryandrake 6y agoYea, we really should stop saying things like the government “requires” or “orders” something, if at the end of the day it’s not being enforced. No US state [EDIT except maybe Hawaii?] seems to have any kind of actually enforced public health rules around COVID besides business closures, where enforcement is spotty at best.
