Domestic travelers entering New York or New Jersey are asked to take 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.

For international travelers, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) require a negative COVID-19 test for anyone entering the U.S. from abroad. 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 final destination. International travelers who are fully vaccinated should follow quarantine guidelines according to the requirements of the local jurisdiction. 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.
