Funny 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.

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.
