The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cdc.gov\/coronavirus\/2019-ncov\/travelers\/index.html\">new travel guidance<\/a> has eased restrictions for domestic travelers who have been vaccinated. International travel restrictions still depend heavily on your destination&#8217;s requirements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With the new guidelines, vaccinated travelers have significantly fewer hoops to jump through than unvaccinated travelers, including <strong>not having to take a COVID-19 test or quarantine before traveling domestically<\/strong>. The CDC still urges ALL travelers to abide by safety measures such as social distancing and wearing masks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>See below for an abbreviated list of the latest travel updates, or visit <\/em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cdc.gov\/coronavirus\/2019-ncov\/travelers\/index.html\"><em>CDC.gov<\/em><\/a><em> to read them in detail.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:43px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"content\"><strong>Domestic Travel During COVID-19<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cdc.gov\/coronavirus\/2019-ncov\/travelers\/travel-during-covid19.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"700\" height=\"455\" src=\"https:\/\/blog-origin.redweek.com\/content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Screen-Shot-2021-04-05-at-3.17.53-PM-700x455.png?v=b6ade3ef44191192ecd38e69a62a58cf\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-6160\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog-origin.redweek.com\/content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Screen-Shot-2021-04-05-at-3.17.53-PM-700x455.png?v=b6ade3ef44191192ecd38e69a62a58cf 700w, https:\/\/blog-origin.redweek.com\/content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Screen-Shot-2021-04-05-at-3.17.53-PM-250x163.png?v=b6ade3ef44191192ecd38e69a62a58cf 250w, https:\/\/blog-origin.redweek.com\/content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Screen-Shot-2021-04-05-at-3.17.53-PM-768x499.png?v=b6ade3ef44191192ecd38e69a62a58cf 768w, https:\/\/blog-origin.redweek.com\/content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Screen-Shot-2021-04-05-at-3.17.53-PM-120x78.png?v=b6ade3ef44191192ecd38e69a62a58cf 120w, https:\/\/blog-origin.redweek.com\/content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Screen-Shot-2021-04-05-at-3.17.53-PM.png?v=b6ade3ef44191192ecd38e69a62a58cf 1264w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" \/><\/a><figcaption><em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cdc.gov\/coronavirus\/2019-ncov\/travelers\/travel-during-covid19.html\">CDC Domestic Travel Recommendations for Vaccinated People<\/a><\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Domestic Travel Recommendations for <em>Unvaccinated<\/em> People:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Before you travel: Get tested with a viral test 1-3 days before your trip.<\/li><li>After you travel:<ul><li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cdc.gov\/coronavirus\/2019-ncov\/travelers\/testing-air-travel.html\"><strong>Get tested<\/strong><\/a><strong>&nbsp;with a&nbsp;<\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cdc.gov\/coronavirus\/2019-ncov\/testing\/diagnostic-testing.html\"><strong>viral test<\/strong><\/a><strong>&nbsp;3-5 days<\/strong>&nbsp;after travel&nbsp;<strong>AND<\/strong>&nbsp;stay home and self-quarantine for a full 7 days after travel.<\/li><li>If you don\u2019t get tested, stay home and self-quarantine for 10 days after travel.<\/li><li>Avoid being around people who are at&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.cdc.gov\/coronavirus\/2019-ncov\/need-extra-precautions\/index.html\">increased risk for severe illness<\/a>&nbsp;for 14 days, whether you get tested or not.<\/li><li>Self-monitor for COVID-19 symptoms;
