Stacks! Keep these requirements and recommendations in mind when traveling to the US

The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention is asking you to evaluate your trip due to the high number of coronavirus cases.

Travel increases the chances of spreading and getting COVID-19, which is why the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommends that you postpone travel for now and stay home to protect yourself and other people from the virus.

When not to travel?

• If you have one or more people living in your home, you have a higher risk of becoming seriously ill from COVID-19.
• If the hospitals in your place of origin or destination have a high rate of infection.
• If you find it difficult to maintain a distance of two meters from other people while you are moving.
• If you or the people you visit have been in contact with people you do not live with.
• If you are planning to attend a large social gathering or mass event, it is best to reconsider your travel date.

Now, if your trip can’t wait, here is the additional documentation to submit:

• A medical certificate stating that you have been tested negative for coronavirus (COVID-19). The test must be carried out no later than 3 days before departure. Rapid PCR or antigen tests are valid. The attestation, it should be noted, must match the information provided in your travel document.
• Passengers under 2 years of age, US military personnel, and passengers with a positive coronavirus medical certificate issued no more than 90 days prior to departure may not submit a negative test. In the case of those who tested positive, in addition to presenting the certificate indicating that it indicates “positive” or “detected”, they will be required to provide a letter from a health authority authorizing them to travel.

We advise: Be careful, if you are traveling to the United States you will be quarantined upon arrival

Take these steps to protect yourself while traveling:

• If you have been vaccinated, wait 2 weeks after the second dose of the vaccine to travel.
• Please check travel restrictions before you go.
• Wear a mask. These are required on planes, buses, trains, and other forms of public transportation in the United States, as well as airports and stations. Also, don’t forget to bring extra masks as you will be asked to change them on flights over two hours. Wear hand sanitizer (at least 60% alcohol) and remember to wash regularly.
• Avoid crowds.
• Do not touch your eyes, nose and mouth.

After traveling, remember:

Have a viral test done 3 to 5 days after your trip. Stay at home and respect the 7-day quarantine. If you don’t get tested, wait at home and run a strict quarantine for 10 days.
