Parents of kids that travelled / will travel soon to USA i need your help v. New CDC requirements
So, now that 5-11 is approved it seems that CDC has changed the requirements for travelling to USA.
https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-nc ... ravel.html
It states the following
1)
Testing REQUIRED
Before boarding a flight to the United States, you are required to show one of the following:
If you are fully vaccinated: Proof of vaccination and a negative COVID-19 test result taken no more than 3 days before travel.
If you are NOT fully vaccinated and meet the criteria for an exception for the requirement for proof of COVID-19 vaccination: A negative COVID-19 test result taken no more than 1 day before travel. (this is where kids under 18 fall under)
Children under 2 years old do not need to test. There is also an option for people who have documented recovery from COVID-19 in the past 90 days. Learn more about these requirements.
Then upon arrival to USA, you need to do this
If you are not fully vaccinated and allowed to travel to the United States by air through an exception
REQUIRED
Get tested with a viral test 3-5 days after arrival, unless you have documentation of having recovered from COVID-19 in the past 90 days.
Stay at home or in your hotel room and self-quarantine for a full 7 days, even if you test negative, unless you have documentation of having recovered from COVID-19 in the past 90 days.
Isolate if your test result is positive or you develop COVID-19 symptoms.
If you intend to stay in the United States for 60 days or longer, you must become fully vaccinated against COVID-19 within 60 days of arriving in the United States or as soon as medically appropriate, unless you have a medical contraindication or are too young to be vaccinated.
Am i reading this correctly?
Basically, if kids are NOT vaccinated, you have to test and isolate upon arrival in USA?
