A big change for the summer travel season. The CDC now recommending all travelers get a COVID test within 3 days of a domestic flight. The new guidelines come as cases creep up and masks come off. Eyewitness News with reactions - Tonight at 11 from ABC7.
The CDC recommends taking a COVID test after domestic travel"if your trip involved situations with greater risk of exposure such as being in crowded places while not wearing a well-fitting mask or respirator."
"I agree with that," said Rhea Shannon of North Hollywood."I've been doing that since the pandemic started. I had to travel even during while we're shut down, and I didn't want to infect anyone that I was going to see, and I didn't want, you know, to not know where I got it from. So I always do that."
"I really like that idea," she said."I used to be a school teacher so I work with the public, I work with students. I also have a senior mother and senior in-laws so I'm always healthy, I always wear my mask." Those travelers must have a negative coronavirus test within a day of travel or submit proof that they've recovered from COVID in the previous 90 days. Children younger than 2 do not need to test.
