Traveling this holiday season? Travel may involve crowds and going to places with high levels ofCOVID-19. If you are not fully vaccinated, avoid travel.
If you must travel, use these tips:
Wear a face mask. Masks are still required on planes, trains, and other transportation, and at airports and stations, even if you are vaccinated.
✈️ Play by the rules. Check and follow State, local and country COVID-19 guidance. If you leave the U.S., you will need to get tested before your fight home.
Stay at a hotel. If you are visiting friends or family out-of-town, consider staying at a hotel if you or others are not fully vaccinated. If you have out-of-town visitors, suggest they do the same.
Follow travel guidance. This includes getting tested before and after travel, and quarantining as needed after your return. Everyone should monitor for COVID-19 symptoms after travel.
