IATA called for:
- Removing all travel barriers (including quarantine and testing) for those fully vaccinated with a WHO-approved vaccine.
- Enabling quarantine-free travel for non-vaccinated travelers with a negative pre-departure antigen test result.
- Removing travel bans, and
- سفري پابندين ۾ نرمي کي تيز ڪرڻ کي تسليم ڪيو وڃي ٿو ته مسافرن کي COVID-19 جي پکيڙ لاءِ وڌيڪ خطرو نه آهي جيترو عام آبادي ۾ اڳ ۾ ئي موجود آهي.
“With the experience of the Omicron variant, there is mounting scientific evidence and opinion opposing the targeting of travelers with restrictions and country bans to control the spread of COVID-19. The measures have not worked. Today Omicron is present in all parts of the world. That’s why travel, with very few exceptions, does not increase the risk to general populations. The billions spent testing travelers would be far more effective if allocated to vaccine distribution or strengthening health care systems,” said Willie Walsh, IATAجي ڊائريڪٽر جنرل.
