In place since January of 2021, this was one of the last remaining travel mandates.
"I feel fine about it. A lot of other countries already done it. I felt like it was more of a burden for a lot of people," said Ray Hu.
"I think it's going to be easier, it's faster. The faster we can get people in and out, the better," said Mike Pazzola traveling from Minneapolis."I think it's on par with the timeline. We still have bumps on the road in front of us, but I think we're doing alright now."The Centers for Disease Control says the reversal was based on science, data and the belief this specific testing requirement was no longer necessary.
"Getting the test was a little troublesome coming back. Ultimately it helped me feel safe and secure when I came back," Robert Samuels of Philadelphia."I think it's a step in the right direction, but I think people still need to take precautions."The CDC will be monitoring this change closely. They will review risks and if the mandate needs to be reinstated in 90 days.
