Funny story I heard recently: Someone tested positive in Mexico but "had to" get home. Flew to Tijuana, walked across the border (no COVID test needed for land crossing), and caught a flight home out of San Diego.

It still makes sense to protect the airline employees, but I no longer view a pre-flight test as a reliable measure to stop COVID from arriving in the US.




What is point, we have millions of cases a day anyway.


The Tijuana-San Diego no test trick was possible up until November. Land borders didnt have any testing or inoculation requirements before then.

That document applies to non-U.S. persons. I don't think they can deny entry to a US person at a land border.


Seems like the testing requirements are unchanged, but the vaccination requirements have changed.
