The U. S. government has not been able to do so. But it’s not the first time It plans to complete Covid-19’s advanced detection procedures at airports for foreign arrivals that have been in position since the first cases of coronavirus began to emerge in January, according to reports.
Since March, incoming foreign flights from countries classified as the biggest threat at the time, adding China, Iran and the top of Europe, among others, have been redirected to 15 airports in the United States.
Before passing through customs, passengers were sent to fitness control officers who took their temperature, asked them a series of questions about typical Covid-19 symptoms, and collected tactile data to track them in case of infection.
All route and Covid-19 changes will end on Monday, September 14, according to Reuters and Yahoo News.
Of the 675,000 passengers examined, researchers found that only 15 other people were inflamed with Covid-19, according to Reuters, and fitness experts argued that the controls were ineffective.
The tests will end when European countries, coupled with France, Spain and the United Kingdom, see an increase in infection rates, with doctors and fitness officers involved in a momentary wave of the virus that may be in reserve this fall.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said in a statement that they were eliminating needs because symptom-based screening tests are limited in use because others with COVID-19 may have no symptoms or only mild symptoms, and the White House showed that it would end thursday.
The forward projections were the result of an March 11 proclamation issued through President Donald Trump banning foreign citizens from more than two dozen European countries, from China and Iran to the United States in an effort to involve the spread of the coronavirus. On March 13, the Department of Homeland Security announced access restrictions for Americans returning from those countries, adding diverted flights and improved controls. The restrictions were in effect until 31 December 2020.
