CDC Suggests US Travelers Take COVID Test, Regardless of Vaccine Status

The Centers
for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) is again
recommending that domestic American travelers submit to a
COVID-19 test — regardless of their vaccine status — roughly three days before
each trip.
Last month, a federal judge in Florida struck down the
CDC/Biden administration's mask-mandate
requirement for public
transit, covering airline travel, taxis, buses, and ride-share
services.
In that vein, the CDC's request is more suggestion than a
legally binding order.
International travelers coming into the United States are
already required to show proof of a negative Covid test within 24 hours of
expected travel, per CDC guidelines.
These international travelers must also be
vaccinated.
For domestic travelers, though, they're now free to
hang out on planes and other transit modes, minus the obligation of donning a
mask.
Dr. Rochelle Walensky, the CDC director, points to a
recent surge of coronavirus cases in various U.S. regions.
Amid this change, she would welcome a return to mask
and/or vaccine mandates for those taking public transportation.
"We urge local leaders to encourage use of
prevention strategies, like masks in public indoor settings and increasing
access to testing and treatment," Walensky said Wednesday during a White
House briefing with reporters.
In its updated guidelines, the CDC
writes, "Consider getting tested as close to the time of
departure as possible (no more than three days) before your trip."
There are currently no federal regulations regarding
masks, COVID testing, or vaccines for domestic travel. But the rules are different
with some municipalities.
In New
York City, the area has returned to a
"high" alert level with COVID-19 precautions, citing
an increase in cases and hospitalizations.
As such, the NYC health department requests that masks be
worn in all public settings — including grocery stores and office buildings.
Coronavirus infections in NYC have
reportedly risen to
95,719 per day, a 20% jump over the past week. However, that number
doesn't factor in how vaccines and therapeutics are readily available to U.S.
citizens.
It also doesn't account for natural immunity, which some
medical experts believe provides
greater protection against certain virus types.
Also, this week's daily average of 340 COVID-related deaths reportedly represents a 35% reduction from the previous seven days.
