“The CDC is going to issue a contact tracing order that will require airlines to collect comprehensive contact information for every passenger coming to the United States and to provide that information promptly to the CDC, upon request, to follow up with travellers who have been exposed to Covid-19 variants or other pathogens. And these requirements will apply globally,” she said.
