The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in the U.S. on Friday announced that the fully vaccinated people against Covid-19 can now safely travel without tests or quarantine.
According to the director of the U.S. Centers for Disease Control (CDC), Rochelle Walensky, on Friday "Americans who have been inoculated against COVID-19 can safely travel with low risk."
Walensky added that people traveling domestically do not require a COVID-19 test before or after travel and do not need to self-isolate upon return, but that those traveling internationally should provide a negative test result upon returning to the country.
The CDC says that these categories of people can now travel at low risk after the agency had held off for weeks on revising guidance that discouraged all non-essential trips.
The announcement lifting the agency’s guidance that all Americans should avoid non-essential travel should be a shot in the arm for a U.S. travel industry still significantly struggling since the COVID-19 crisis began in early 2020. The new CDC guidance specifically greenlights vaccinated grandparents in the country getting on airplanes to see grandchildren.
