The United States on Friday announced that Covid-19 tests would no longer be demanded of international travelers arriving by air, a major step in the country's gradual lifting of pandemic restrictions.
White House Assistant Press Secretary Kevin Munoz confirmed the news on Twitter, with US media saying the testing requirement would end this weekend after strong lobbying from the travel industry.
