Don't procrastinate

• Follow airline and destination rules, including mask use, immunization, testing, and quarantine.

• Get a viral test as soon as possible before the trip (no more than 3 days).

• Non-U.S. passengers may have different requirements. If you don't obey your destination's rules, you may be sent home.

• Everyone 2 years or older—passengers and workers—should wear a well-fitting mask or respirator in public transportation (airplanes, trains, buses, ferries) and transportation hubs (airports, stations, seaports), particularly in busy or poorly ventilated places like airport jetways.

If...

• You have COVID-19 symptoms, even if you healed in the prior 90 days or are vaccinated.

COVID-19 was detected.

o, Don't travel until 10 days after your symptoms began or the day your positive test was obtained.

• You're awaiting COVID-19 findings.

You had close touch with a COVID-19 patient who should quarantine.

o, Don't travel for 5 days following your last interaction with COVID-19. 10 days after last exposure, avoid travel.

o If you must travel 6-10 days after last exposure:

Test 5 days after last close touch. Check your test results and symptoms before flying. If you don't get tested, don't travel for 10 days following your last COVID-19 interaction.

Wear a well-fitting mask on days 6-10 of travel. If you can't wear a mask, don't travel from June 6-10.

If you have intimate contact with a COVID-19 patient but aren't quarantined...

• Get tested 5 days after close contact. Check your test results and symptoms before flying.

o If you've had COVID-19 in the prior 90 days, you don't need to get tested. Follow all other instructions (including getting tested if you develop COVID-19 symptoms).
