Travel Guidelines

Unvaccinated travelers and residents returning from any U.S. state or territory beyond the immediate region should self-quarantine:

• • If travel is unavoidable, travelers should consider getting tested with a viral test (not an antibody test) 1-3 days before the trip and again 3-5 days after the trip.

  • If travelers test positive, they should self-isolate for at least 10 days and should postpone travel during that time.

  • If travelers test negative, they should quarantine for a full 7 days after travel.

  • If testing is not available (or if the results are delayed), travelers should quarantine for 10 days after travel.

You no longer need to quarantine or get tested before/after domestic travel if you are fully vaccinated or have recovered from COVID-19 in the past three months:

• • It has been more than two weeks since you received your second dose of the Pfizer-BioNTech or Moderna vaccine;

  • It has been more than two weeks since your received your first and only dose of the Janssen/Johnson and Johnson vaccine; or,

  • You have clinically recovered from COVID-19 in the past three months.

Please note that for international travel, the federal requirement for testing upon return to the United States still stands for both unvaccinated and fully vaccinated travelers.

• • Fully vaccinated travelers: Get tested 3-5 days after returning to the United States, but no quarantine needed

  • Unvaccinated travelers: Get tested with a viral test 3-5 days after travel AND stay home and self-quarantine for a full 7 days after travel.

    • • Even if you test negative, stay home and self-quarantine for the full 7 days.

      • If your test is positive, isolate yourself to protect others from getting infected.

      • If you don’t get tested, stay home and self-quarantine for 10 days after travel.
