LOKHO ONGAKUTHATHE KULESI SIHLOKO:
- We urge the Biden administration to not only require a test or proof of vaccine when boarding a flight to the United States but another test upon arrival and before being allowed to leave the customs area of a US airport, or port of entry.
- Peter Tarlow is also a safety and security expert in the United States and had worked on many projects by the US State Department in the past.
- “We respectfully urge the Biden administration to revisit its decision in the very near term and begin reopening international travel to vaccinated individuals, starting with air corridors between the U.
