U.S. Will Impose Coronavirus Testing Requirement on Travelers from China
------------------------------------------------------------------------

The United States will impose new coronavirus testing requirements on
travelers from China. Beginning on January 5, passengers boarding
U.S.-bound flights from China will be required to show proof of a recent
negative COVID test. Officials in Italy imposed similar requirements
Wednesday and urged the European Union to follow suit, after half of all
passengers arriving on two flights from China tested positive for
coronavirus.
