USA only requires that for air passengers. Requiring overseas checkin agents to be disease doctors was okay, but asking CBP to verify paperwork and stop threats

USA only requires that for air passengers. Requiring overseas checkin agents to be disease doctors was okay, but asking CBP to verify paperwork and stop threats at the border was too much to ask.
- tppiotrowski 5y agoFunny story I heard recently: Someone tested positive in Mexico but "had to" get home. Flew to Tijuana, walked across the border (no COVID test needed for land crossing), and caught a flight home out of San Diego. It still makes sense to protect the airline employees, but I no longer view a pre-flight test as a reliable measure to stop COVID from arriving in the US.

- neither_color 5y agoThe Tijuana-San Diego no test trick was possible up until November. Land borders didnt have any testing or inoculation requirements before then. https://www.dhs.gov/news/2021/10/29/fact-sheet-guidance-travelers-enter-us-land-ports-entry-and-ferry-terminals https://www.dhs.gov/news/2021/10/29/fact-sheet-guidance-trav...
- Scoundreller 5y agoSeems like the testing requirements are unchanged, but the vaccination requirements have changed.
- nradov 5y agoThat document applies to non-U.S. persons. I don't think they can deny entry to a US person at a land border.
