Will I be required to supply proof of a negative COVID-19 test to re-enter the US from Spain on May 2, 2022?
Resolved
NOThis market resolves to YES if I, a U.S. citizen, am required to show a negative COVID-19 test in order to board my flight back to the U.S. on May 2nd.
This is the ruling I expect will require me to get a test.

Other countries have already lifted this requirement.
Here's some recent discussion as whether or when the U.S. should or will end this requirement:

Resolved to No because I was not required to show a negative test at any point in the process of flying into the US. The requirement was still clearly in effect as I approached my flight date, so I still got tested. LEVEL airlines never asked me to upload any documentation. They had me check a box in an online form that said I had gotten a test. But as the market is written, I’m resolving it to NO because I was never required to show a negative test. The airline said when we landed that we may need to show a negative test when we arrive in the US, but that never happened either. This market entered a much grayer area than I anticipated, and I am pretty surprised to be resolving it to a no.
