Traveling this summer? CDC recommends everyone test for COVID-19 in days before flying
If you are traveling internationally or within the U.S. this summer, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommends you test for COVID-19 in the days before flying.
The agency鈥檚 recommendation for all travelers regardless of vaccination status came in an update to its COVID-19 testing website on May 16.
鈥淐onsider getting tested as close to the time of departure as possible (no more than 3 days) before your trip鈥 when heading to any destination, the CDC said.
Before the update, the CDC鈥檚 recommendation did not include domestic travelers considered up-to-date on their vaccines, according to CNN.
The agency still recommends wearing masks when using public transportation, but doing so is no longer enforced as of April 18.
