The Washington Post reports:
Federal health officials gave the green light Friday for fully vaccinated people to resume travel as an estimated 100 million Americans have had at least one dose of coronavirus vaccine, and evidence mounts of the shots’ effectiveness.
The long-awaited guidance from the CDC is welcome news for the growing number of vaccinated adults who want greater freedom to visit family members and take vacations for the first time in a year.
It is also expected to help boost the travel and airline industries that have been seeking a relaxation of restrictions. Until Friday’s announcement, officials were still discouraging people who had been fully vaccinated from traveling.
The New York Times reports:
Vaccinated Americans do not need to get a coronavirus test before arriving in another country, unless required to do so by authorities at the destination, and they do not need to quarantine after returning to the United States unless required to do so by local jurisdictions.
But vaccinated travelers should have a negative result from a coronavirus test before boarding a flight back to the United States, and they should get tested against three to five days after their return home. The recommendation is predicated on the idea that vaccinated people may still be infected with the virus.
Big news in travel: The C.D.C. says fully vaccinated Americans can travel both domestically and internationally, “at low risk to themselves.” https://t.co/6zw94yOOY2
