New Jersey Gov. Phil Murphy and United Airlines announced Thursday that the restriction goes into effect Monday. All United fliers with flights originating in the U.K. will have to present proof of a negative test obtained within 72 hours of departure.
The measure is being taken to curb the spread of a new strain of the coronavirus that has surfaced in the U.K.
The restriction doesn’t apply to travelers originating from outside the U.K. who connect to a Newark-bound flight in London.
