United says it's the first major U.S. airline to require the checks.
Travelers will be presented with a checklist that prompts them to confirm that they have not been diagnosed with Covid-19 in the past 21 days and that they haven't had symptoms over the last two weeks such as a temperature of more than 100.4 degrees, a cough, chills, muscle aches or a sore throat.
Customers will also be asked to confirm that they haven't been denied boarding by another airline because of the results of a medical screening for a communicable disease over the last two weeks and that they haven't had close contact with a Covid-19-positive person in that period. United, which says it's the first major U.S. airline to establish a health self-assessment for check-in, asks travelers to confirm that they will wear a mask on board.
"Customers that are not able to confirm these requirements and choose not to travel will be able to reschedule their flight," United said in a news release. "Customers may also choose to check-in at the airport for further review."
