Did you guys see the cdc is now going to require a negative covid test before entering the US? I wonder how this will

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

Nevermind. I'm wrong.

Ragnar Danneskjold

1/12/21 7:28pm

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

Slim

1/12/21 7:28pm

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

Ragnar Danneskjold

Crap. I’m going to Costa Rica in 2 weeks...

Still gonna go. I’ll figure it out.

DraperCoug22

Let us know if you figure out how to get a covid test there

Slim

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

Where did you find the FAQ

You are lucky man. I was planning on booking my Mexico trip tomorrow. Now it is

I have 4 crying kids right now. I just told them today we were going to Mexico

Ugh. We were booked in feb.

I may look into this

Chester Copperpot

You find anything on it?

Dr T-bone

Not yet

Chester Copperpot

Why not just take a test?

NihonCougar

In Mexico? How would one even go about doing this?

Do you speak Spanish?

Please let me know through Boardmail.

Chester Copperpot

I need details also. May have to cancel if no test is available at decent cost

I found a clinic in San Isidrio de El General that will do a 48hr test for $130

DraperCoug22

1/13/21 12:37am

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

cougfanz

Thanks man. Yeah, crossing my fingers.

DraperCoug22

1/13/21 7:45am

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

NihonCougar

1/12/21 8:00pm

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

cougfanz

I’m going to Hawaii on Saturday. Requirements to enter my own country sucks.

Seriously. They do this NOW?! Haven’t we put up with enough?

Of course I still have my original passport which had to have a vaccination

Nat Gas Man

I have a trip to Cancun in March. I bet there will be someone who can sell me

Tonto

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

garyfan

1/12/21 7:38pm

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

wabluecoug

1/12/21 7:42pm

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

garyfan

1/12/21 7:48pm

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

wabluecoug

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

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

Busting Coveys

1/12/21 7:44pm

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

BYUFam1

1/12/21 7:47pm

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

It was just pointed out to me that the rule includes any post which references policies or regulations. So I guess even

Slim

1/12/21 8:33pm

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

fldnstrm

1/13/21 8:19am

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

Slim

1/13/21 8:26am

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

Joe Banks

Dr T-bone

That's really dumb. But if you suddenly change your boardname to Flaco, we'll know you got stuck in Mexico.
