ET after heavy lobbying from airlines and the travel industry, the White House has confirmed to Global News. The Biden administration will announce today the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention will no longer require pre-departure COVID-19 testing for travellers coming to the United States after determining it was no longer necessary “based on the science and data that this requirement is no longer necessary at this time,” the White House said in a statement to Global News.

If there is a need to reinstate this measure, such as for a concerning new variant, CDC will not hesitate to act, the statement says. “We are able to take this step because of the tremendous progress we’ve made in our fight against the virus,” the White House said in its statement. “We’re committed to continuing to ensure the safety of Americans here at home and international air travel.” Even as this mandatory requirement lifts this weekend, the CDC continues to recommend COVID-19 testing prior to air travel of any kind.

The pre-departure testing requirement for international travellers arriving into the U.S. has been in place since January 2021.

Pellet gun drive-by shooting almost kills 15-year-old in Santa Clara

SANTA CLARA, Calif. - A very smart, brave, and innocent 15-year-old is recovering after a horrific experience last Friday.Gianna Vitarelli and her girlfriend were leaving Valley Fair Mall in Santa Clara when suddenly something happened."Me and her heard a really loud 'thwack' noise and I immediately said 'Ow!'" Gianna recalled.It turns out she was hit by a drive-by pellet gun projectile, a situation the Santa Clara police are now investigating. "We turned around to see what that was, and we just see a car driving off, rolling up its window," the teen said.After blood started flowing from the wound, paramedics thought it was a relatively minor piercing of her skin. But, as her condition worsened, and her breathing was labored, doctors found out it was much worse."My wife took her to urgent care and they had done an X-ray and that's where they found the pellet," said her father, Mike Vitarelli.The pellet had done its damage."It had collapsed my lung, fractured a rib, it caused a lot of internal bleeding and then it almost hit my heart," said Gianna.That serious injury caused Gianna to have emergency surgery and spend three days in the Santa Clara Valley Medical Center’s Intensive Care Unit.The pellet is and will remain in her lung."It's going to take a long time to recover.

PHILADELPHIA - A new basketball court paying homage to Philadelphia-native, the late Kobe Bryant, and his daughter Gianna Bryant was unveiled at the Tustin Recreational Playground at 501 W Columbia Avenue in the city's Overbrook neighborhood. Vanessa Bryant and her daughters traveled to Philadelphia on Tuesday to unveil the new court with city leaders and charity partners. She says Philadelphia is where her late husband's love for basketball began and Tustin Playground is a place he frequented when he was younger. "I chose this location so that young people in this community may have a safe space to play with equal opportunity, which was important to Kobe and Gianna," Vanessa Bryant wrote on Instagram. Bryant partnered with Nancy Lieberman Charities' Dream Courts initiative, which strives to make basketball more accessible for children while providing them with a safe environment to play in.

Emmerdale's Al star swipes at BBC as he brands ITV 'poster child for Covid rules'

Emmerdale star Michael Wildman, best known for his role as Al Chapman in the ITV Dales, has taken a subtle swipe at rival channel BBC.He branded ITV the "poster channel" for Covid social distancing rules in a veiled jab at rival soaps like EastEnders.Despite his swipe, all three major soaps used distancing measures in their filming, with crew members substituting tennis balls on sticks for mouths in racy kissing scenes and employing various other camera tricks.Soap fans in particular poked fun at Tyrone's 'kiss' with Alina on the Corrie cobbles, with regular extras Alex Mulvaney and his wife Hannah stepping in as substitute stars - not too successfully.But now social distancing has been scrapped, actors can get back to some serious snogging, which Chas star Lucy Pargeter admitted was "very weird".Speaking exclusively to Daily Star and other press, she admitted of the upcoming scenes - which see Chas and Al share a snog after consoling each other about their woes: "It was very weird. "Instead of people saying, 'You can’t stand next to them, you can’t touch them, you’re too close, you’re a metre away - don’t go any closer!', now they’re saying, 'Can you just stand there literally lip to lip, and we’ll just line up the cameras?'"It’s very strange going back the other way now."Michael then agreed: "Absolutely, it was incredibly weird.
