Afghans evacuated from Afghanistan are being tested for the Chinese coronavirus after they arrive in the United States, Pentagon officials said on Monday.
During a press briefing, Pentagon spokesman John Kirby confirmed that thousands of Afghans arriving in the U.S. over the coming days and weeks will not be required to test negative for coronavirus before their arrival.
Instead, Afghans are being tested after they arrive so long as they are not showing symptoms.
Kirby said:
As I understand it, medical personnel at the — at Hamid Karzai International Airport are conducting COVID screening for those who are febrile or symptomatic. And then as appropriate, depending on what the temporary safe haven, what the guidelines are at the temporary safe havens, additional screenings at some of those safe havens occur.
