New guidelines issued by the CDC for International travel to USA

The days of an impulsively surprising family with impromptu international travel are long gone and we did sorely miss the freedom to travel, you can now book a fast and cheap USA to India ticket while following the latest guidelines from CDC.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) is the national public health agency of the United States.

The panic created by the Omicron Variant and the rightful surge in testing has globally resulted in a rise of COVID 19 cases in light of which the CDC has declared that those traveling to the United Nations of America have to have a negative COVID 19 test report irrespective of the vaccination status of the traveler. This test must be conducted a day prior to the date of travel.

What are the latest rules for international travelers?

The CDC has declared in its new rules that those traveling to the United Nations of America have to have a negative COVID 19 test report. This test must be conducted a day prior to the commencement of the journey. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has mandated that these rules must be followed by all international travelers irrespective of their vaccination status if they are 2 years or older.

When you book your India to USA ticket or vice versa, it shall be the responsibility of the airlines to verify all the reports and to collect the personal contact details of every traveler boarding a flight to the USA.

In case a person has recovered from COVID 19 and is still testing positive then they can provide verified documents proving that they have recovered in the past 90 days.

Is Vaccination Compulsory? 

The CDC has declared in its new rules that those traveling to the United Nations of America have to have a negative COVID 19 test report irrespective of the vaccination status of the traveler. If you are a non-U.S. citizen who is a nonimmigrant (not a U.S. citizen, U.S. national, lawful permanent resident, or traveling to the United States on an immigrant visa), you will need to show proof of being fully vaccinated against COVID-19 before you travel by air to the United States from a foreign country. It is further likely that you will be required to quarantine. You can make the best quarantine arrangements as per your needs along with your ticket booking to the USA with Tripbeam!
