CDC issues long awaited travel guidance: (As per CNN) -Â Fully vaccinated people can travel at low risk to themselves, but travel still isn’t recommended at this time because of rising numbers of coronavirus cases.The agency said that as long as coronavirus precautions are taken, including mask wearing, fully vaccinated people can travel within the United States without getting tested for Covid-19 before or self-quarantining after.For international travel, fully vaccinated people don’t need a Covid-19 test prior to travel — unless it is required by the destination — and do not need to self-quarantine after returning to the United States. They should still have a negative Covid-19 test before boarding a flight to the US, and a follow up test three to five days after their return, the CDC noted.
