LET'S TALK TRAVEL
As more people become vaccinated against COVID-19, borders have begun to open for travel. However, there are still guidelines and restrictions in place to prevent the spread and resurgence of the virus.
The CDC recommends delaying all travel until you are fully vaccinated, but if you travel the CDC provides recommendations for unvaccinated people to reduce your risk.
For domestic travel, use the Travel Planner tool for easy access to state and local restrictions.
If you plan to travel internationally check your destination's Office of Foreign Affairs or Ministry of Health or the US State Department before making any travel plans. All travelers are required to provide a negative COVID-19 test taken no more than 3 days prior to your return to the US (an exception is in place for those recently recovered).
For additional travel guidelines, visit the CDC COVID-19 website.
