According to Juan Browne of Blancolirio channel, these aircraft are designed to be able to continue flight and return for landing in TAKE OFF configuration (fully loaded with fuel) in the event of an engine out on take off. There was no fuel dump in this case. Dumping fuel would have made the situation on the ground worse than it was, as Delta found out over busy L.A. a few years back.

Can someone please explain to me? If I get a covid test here in the U.S., then board a plane and travel to an international destination for a week's vacation, I will have to get a covid test at my destination to be able to return home? Is that how this works?
