Information for Airlines and Crew members
The CDC has come up with updated COVID-19 recommendation for all airlines and flight crews
They recommend the following:
“CDC reminds air carriers of the requirement under Title 42 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) section 71.21 to report to CDC ill travelers who have certain signs and symptoms during flight, and all deaths onboard, before arrival in the United States.”
“All passengers and crew are required to wear masks at all times while on public conveyances entering, traveling within, or departing the United States, and in U.S. transportation hubs, as per CDC Order effective February 2, 2021.”
“Pre-departure SARS-CoV-2 testing or documentation of recovery from COVID-19 is required for air passengers traveling into the United States from a foreign country regardless of vaccination status, consistent with CDC guidelines for International Travel During COVID-19, as per CDC Order effective January 26, 2021.”
