All travelers will now be required to submit a negative COVID-19 test within 3 days of departure. Also, 3-5 days after arrival, you will need to do an additional test and stay on isolation for 7 days.

“Testing before and after travel is a critical level to slow the introduction and spread of COVID-19. This strategy is consistent with the current phase of the pandemic and more effectively protects the health of Americans,” the department noted.

If the passenger does not provide documentation of a negative test result or recovery, or decides not to take the test, the airline must deny the passenger boarding.

“Testing does not eliminate all risks,” says CDC Director Robert R. Redfield. “But when combined with isolation and everyday precautions like wearing masks and social distancing, it can make travel safer and healthier.”
