So will a test from the US work if you get it day of travel out of US

and are then back in US in 3 days?

Air passengers are required to get a viral test (a test for current infection) within the 3 days before their flight to the U.S. departs, and provide written documentation of their laboratory test result (paper or electronic copy) to the airline or provide documentation of having recovered from COVID-19.

Can they keep citizens from re-entry? I bet you're fine.

Nevermind. I'm wrong.

I just read the FAQ. Yes they will force airlines to not allow citizens back into the country. Yikes. This sucks.

Can you fly to Tijuana and then walk across the border, catch a flight in San Diego?

Will do. I’ve planned too much to not go.

Why not just take a test?

I guess the question will be if these places just get flooded with people.

Thanks man. Yeah, crossing my fingers.

I would call the hotel in 2-3 days and get their advice. Rapid COVID testing is readily available in most major cities

True but it’s going to be a huge burden of testing

Crazy to not allow those with vaccine to enter. Maybe they’ll get around to that

garyfan

They are treating the vaccine like it doesn't work, that's ridiculous policy

wabluecoug

And pretending that US citizens have access to Covid tests in all countries.

It's a feel good, but does nothing policy. I hate it

Leaving for Mexico on the 16th. Get back on the 23rd. Whew.

Booked a vacation to Cancun for spring break. This stinks.

So flying to San Diego and driving to Tiajuana does not apply - right?

How can the CDC require this? They aren't a legislative body. Or is it a recommendation that Congress will mandate?

That's funny because it now is back to Travel.

That’s fine. I think Jefe changed it to that because it is good for people to know before they book a vacation.

Why is int’l flying a heightened risk when the virus is already bad in the US?
