The US airports saw the largest number of travelers on Friday since last March. Just a year after the WHO declaring COVID-19 as a global Pandemic, the US airports witnessed 1.357 million people traveling, which is more than any day since March 2020.

The news comes as a relief to the country's aviation and travel industry which has gone through a tough year since the declaration of the Pandemic.

The Transportation Security Administration revealed the figures. However, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, CDC has warned against the non-essential flights.

“We know that after mass travel, after vacations, after holidays, we tend to see a surge in cases,” Dr. Rochelle Walensky, the director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, said last Monday.
