WASHINGTON (Reuters) – The U.S. Transportation Security Administration said it screened 1.047 million passengers on Sunday, the highest number since mid-March.
The number of U.S. air travelers is still about 60% lower than the same date last year but Sunday was the second time in three days that passengers screened topped 1 million.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention on Thursday urged Americans not to travel during this week’s Thanksgiving holiday to mitigate the spread of the coronavirus as cases of COVID-19 spike around the United States.
