Biden Administration Reportedly Considers Florida Travel Ban, COVID-19 Testing for Domestic Flights

|

With the COVID-19 “UK Variant” cases accounting for up to 15% of new cases in Florida, the Biden administration is reportedly considering banning travel to the Sunshine State.

The travel ban is one of several options proposed to curb the spread of COVID-19 and the so-called variants. Another proposal calls for a negative COVID-19 test before domestic flights, a move that the airline industry says could threaten jobs.

Florida Governor Ron DeSantis “opposes travel restrictions and does not believe diagnostic tests should be a prerequisite to domestic air travel.”

No decisions have been made at this time on a potential travel ban or COVID-19 testing for domestic flights.
