From December 6, all air passengers above 2 years, irrespective of vaccination status or nationality, must produce proof of a negative Covid test obtained within one day of the flight's departure to the United States before boarding. You must show your negative result to the airline before you board your flight.

Everyone, regardless of nationality or immigration status - whether they are flying into the United States or out of it - is affected.

You can also present evidence of COVID-19 recovery, such as a document from your doctor verifying that you were cured (i.e., a positive COVID-19 viral test result on a sample taken no more than 90 days before the flight's departure from a foreign country, and a letter from a certified healthcare provider or public health official stating that you were allowed to travel) if you just recovered from COVID-19.

Exemptions will be considered on a case-by-case basis. For more information about exemptions and the need for proof of negative COVID-19 test or recuperation from COVID-19, including types of acceptable tests, see the CDC.

CDC Order

The CDC advises that you should not leave the United States until you have been adequately vaccinated. Even fully vaccinated people may be at increased risk of contracting and possibly spreading COVID-19 variants while traveling internationally.

If you must travel, follow CDC instructions carefully before, during, and after your trip.

U.S. residents who choose to go abroad should be aware that they may face difficulties related to COVID-19 when returning to the United States or attempting to move from one international location to another. If you travel overseas, make sure to make alternative arrangements in case your trip extends longer than expected.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's (CDC) Order, which went into effect November 8, 2021, mandates all non-citizen, non-immigrant flyers to the United States to be completely vaccinated and produce proof of vaccination status before boarding an aircraft that has not been retracted.

In the United States, there are limited exceptions to the CDC's order demanding that all air travelers be fully immunized before boarding a plane. The following groups are exempt from this regulation:

• Kids under 18
• Those who cannot take the vaccines due to medical conditions
• Emergency Travelers without proper access to vaccines.

The CDC order is applied with a humanitarian exemption on an exceptional basis.
