The COVID requirement to enter the United States from a foreign country PR holder  is to be tested no more than one day. I don't understand what this means. So currently in my area it's Sunday morning and my flight leaves tomorrow around 8, :30 p.m. I am planning on testing in a few hours. Will my testing be valid for tomorrow? Is this what it means? No more than one day. Someone please help me answer this

Yes.

 

Per the CDC (faq section):

Quote

The 1-day period is 1 day before the flight’s departure. The Order uses a 1-day time frame instead of 24 hours to provide more flexibility to the air passenger and aircraft operator. By using a 1-day window, test acceptability does not depend on the time of the flight or the time of day that the test sample was taken.

 

For example, if your flight is at 1pm on a Friday, you could board with a negative test that was taken any time on the prior Thursday.

Yes and yes.  
 

Here is an extreme example 
 

Yoy can be tested at 12:01 AM on June 1 and use the negative result for a flight that departs 11:59 PM on June.2.
