Domestic travelers entering New York or New Jersey from outside the region are asked to fill out a traveler survey, self-quarantine or obtain a COVID-19 diagnostic test, depending on the state and travel circumstances. Updated guidance for travelers is available here for New York and New Jersey. All non-essential travel to and between New York and New Jersey is highly discouraged.

The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) currently require a negative COVID-19 test for all travelers entering the U.S. from international destinations. Prior to departure, international travelers must be tested, and in line with the CDC recommendations, should be tested again 3 to 5 days after arrival in the U.S. and plan to self-isolate for 7 days at their destination. Travelers should contact their airline or visit the CDC website for details. Travelers can find COVID-19 information for their destination state, local, territorial, and tribal communities here to make informed decisions, protect themselves, and reduce transmission before, during, and after travel.
