Testing passengers for COVID-19 before they board US domestic flights could reduce transmission, CDC says - as Delta's CEO slams it as a 'horrible idea'
CDC Director Rochelle Walensky said requiring domestic air travelers to receive negative COVID-19 tests before flight could be 'another mitigation measure'
She said that that additional screening at places where people gather like airports could help detect more asymptomatic cases
However, Walensky did not say if CDC will move forward with such a policy, which the Biden administration has previously said it is 'actively considering'
Meanwhile, Delta Air Lines CEO Ed Bastian slammed it as a 'horrible idea'
