“Personally, I think if there’s a high-risk country, whether it’s China or another country, we should always have that option to require testing before they come in,” Poe said in an interview on ANC Headstart.
“The protocol should be in place that immediately it can be enacted, if let’s say you reach a certain threshold or how many percent of your countrymen are actually getting infected, and especially if the data coming from certain countries are not clear, we always have to err on the side of caution when it comes to that,” she pointed out.
