Presskonferens som hölls i går kväll
Några punkter av intresse om PCR test och test efter ankomst, ingetdera kommer att krävas.
Josh Wingrove at Bloomberg.
Q Can you say whether you considered doing PCR tests as opposed to a one-day window per antigen test?
Some countries, of course, require a PCR test for arrival.
SENIOR ADMINISTRATION OFFICIAL: Yeah. Josh, that’s a good question.
So the CDC, really — they did look at this.
They looked at the question of: How do you tighten these testing requirements?
And I think on (inaudible) they came out on what we’re doing, obviously, in their recommendation,
which is to tighten the timeline and not necessarily the type of test.
And if we were to find that a test didn’t work, we would certainly take it off our list of accepted tests for international travel.
But, so far, we haven’t seen that.
Sabrina Siddiqui at the Wall Street Journal.
Q Can you confirm that — if you’re also considering any post-arrival testing or quarantine requirements for international travel,
what those might look like and how you would enforce them if you are, in fact, thinking about putting in place
some kind of post-arrival testing mechanism and also a quarantine period?
SENIOR ADMINISTRATION OFFICIAL: Yeah, thanks, Sabrina.
So we’re not announcing any steps on post-arrival testing and quarantine.
I will say — look, if additional measures are recommended, if additional measures can be implemented well and are effective,
we won’t hesitate to take them, but we’re not taking them today
