People flying from China will need a negative COVID-19 test within two days of their departure in order to enter the United States, the CDC said.
The newly announced restrictions come amid what the CDC called a "surge" in cases of COVID-19 in China as well as a "lack of adequate and transparent" data being reported by the Chinese government.
Passengers will need a negative test, such as a PCR or antigen test, no more than two days before they leave China, Hong Kong or Macau.
