R&I NV — The Biden administration has temporarily halted U.S.-bound flights of Afghan evacuees after four people who recently arrived in the United States tested positive for the measles.
White House press secretary Jen Psaki said Friday that the decision to pause flights was recommended by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention “out of an abundance of caution given four measles cases.” The individuals who tested positive are being quarantined and a full contact tracing is underway, Psaki said.
