The policy, implemented by the CDC last week, triggered fears that such rules could lead to racist fallout, particularly during a period of heightened anti-Asian and anti-Chinese sentiment.
for passengers flying in from China, Asian American advocates and experts are urging caution and nuance amid years of heightened anti-Asian violence.
“What I would ask everyone to do is, again, be careful not to conflate the virus with an ethnicity or a group of people,” said John C. Yang, president and executive director of Asian Americans Advancing Justice | AAJC. “When we have seen these types of policies, there are always those people on the fringe that will use it as an excuse to scapegoat our community as a whole or take it as a way of targeting a community.
Both the nonprofit and Yang pointed out another concern: that the policy appears to single out China among other countries that have similar Covid rates. But from a health standpoint, Dr. Tung Nguyen, a professor of medicine at the University of California, San Francisco, said the issue is complex. Thus far, medical experts are still unsure of the severity of the country’s Covid spread. Without transparency from China, particularly in data around possible variants, transmission to the U.S.
Still, the policy’s efficacy remains questionable. Nguyen said that the rule could help slow the spread for a few weeks, but if travelers who have visited China end up going to other countries and infecting others there, then returning to the U.S. without testing, there won’t be much of a long-term benefit.
