Everything You Need to Know About the Updated COVID Travel Requirements

If the coronavirus pandemic resulted in canceled travel plans recently, you likely have the urge to get out and explore again, especially with many restrictions being lifted. But before you book your next trip, it's important to know the latest updates on travel requirements - including testing and vaccination requirements - as these continue to evolve.

At Emergentcare2Go, we want to make sure you have all the information you need before you travel, which is why we've put together this blog post sharing everything you need to know about the updated COVID travel requirements.

Restrictions Vary Depending on Destination

One of the first things to keep in mind is that travel restrictions vary depending on your destination. For example, some countries may require a negative COVID test result before you're allowed to enter, while others may only require a test if you're coming from a high-risk country. It's important to research the requirements of your specific destination before you travel to make sure you have everything in order.

Wearing a Mask is Recommended in Indoor Areas of Public Transportation

While it currently is no longer required to wear them, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) still recommends wearing a mask in indoor areas of public transportation, like airports and bus stations. This is because the close contact and confined spaces make it easier for the virus to spread.

Don’t Travel if You Have COVID-19 Symptoms

While this is a given, it's important to reiterate that you should not travel if you have any COVID-19 symptoms, including a fever, chills, shortness of breath, muscle pain, headache, sore throat, new loss of taste or smell. If you develop these symptoms after returning from travel, the CDC recommends self-isolating and getting tested for COVID-19 right away.
