IATA chief says COVID-19 test data support easing of travel curbs

PARIS: Global airline body IATA stepped up its pressure on governments to ease travel restrictions on Wednesday, pointing to UK testing data that showed low incidence of COVID-19 in arriving passengers.
"These data tell us we can do better," IATA Director General Willie Walsh said, citing a 2.2% positive rate among 365,895 tests carried out in February-May, according to Britain's National Health Service. "Universal restrictions on people are no longer needed," Walsh added.More Related News
