Requirements for entering the US?

PCR test is also accepted, right?

Of course, if it's taken within 72 hours, this will be checked by airlines

You can do antigen 3 days before flying. Cheaper, faster, and easier.

OK but the PCR is accepted. I know someone who recently did the PCR for Miami. Nobody at Ezeiza or in the US asked for the test results!

In the case I was referring to it was not United, no results were uploaded and nobody asked.

Antigen 48 hours

Yes but my understanding is that the US ACCETS the PCR test or is that wrong? Are you saying they refuse the PCR?

No, PCR is fine. PCR 72 hours and Antigen 48 hours. The actual counting is by days, PCR must be within 3 days and Antigen 2 days. This requirement is pretty much universal if COVID test is required.

European countries reimpose bans on US tourists

Days after the EU removed the United States from its safe travel list, Sweden, the Netherlands and Italy have tightened restrictions on US and other arrivals.

Just flew to the USA … antigen 3 days before no problem. They also accept PCR (or NAAT, RT-LAMP, RT-PCR or TMA test)
