The United States is planning to lift a Covid testing requirement for travelers from China put in place earlier this year, a source familiar with the matter told NBC News on Tuesday.

The plan, first reported by the Washington Post, would nix the China-specific requirements that were implemented in early January.

The U.S. began requiring a pre-departure negative Covid test for travelers ages 2 and up flying from China on Jan. 5. The policy followed a surge in coronavirus cases in China after it ended its strict Covid-zero policy.

[ad_1] Comment on this story Comment Cinema today is in chaos. Theater chains are imploding. Studios are scrambling. Streamers are desperately trying to win subscribers and claw back the ones who have left. The answer, clearly, is more comic book movies. Unless it’s horror. Or boomer nostalgia. No, it’s “Cocaine Bear”! As the screenwriter William Goldman famously said about Hollywood: “Nobody knows anything.” The movie business has always been an enterprise driven more by fear and instinct than no-fail formulas.
