White House Covid Press conference this morning, wonder if they'll say anything or just talk about how they are giving out more tests and be very careful.
That article gets a number of details about the testing requirement incorrect:
1. Uses the "24 hour" rule and not the actual "one calendar day" rule
2. Assumes the look back period starts from time of arrival to the US, when it actually starts from departure of the first flight on the journey
3. Assumes that if you have a connection outside the US, you must test at your connecting stop, when in fact the FAQ is very clear that as long as the connection is on a single ticket and doesn't have a stop of longer than 24 hours, it's all considered one journey and the test can be done the calendar day before departure of the first flight.
