Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg has suggested the federal government may require proof of a negative COVID-19 test result in order to board domestic passenger jets.

Buttigieg told “Axios on HBO” in an interview aired Feb. 7 that there’s currently “an active conversation” with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) on whether to implement the requirement.
