There may be some nuance I'm missing, but in fact the US currently has this requirement.
> Effective January 26, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) will require all air passengers two years of age and over entering the United States (including U.S. citizens and Legal Permanent Residents) to present a negative COVID-19 test, taken within three (3) calendar days of departure , or proof of recovery from the virus within the last 90 days.
There are exemptions for emergencies and such, but otherwise it seems entirely possible to require people to get a negative COVID test.

- handmodel 5y agoYeah I don't get this. There have been medical requirements to travel to and from some international destinations for decades. I can understand why you may or may not be in favor of that for Covid - but it is completely within legal (and I'd say ethical) ground to do mandatory test, require vaccinations, require quarantines, etc.
- nradov 5y agoThere is a thriving business in counterfeit negative COVID-19 test results. At this point for international travel they're largely just pointless pandemic theater. Just like the useless and inaccurate contact free temperature sensors.
