| Boilerpipe Text | Even when you arm yourself with the info below—each state’s most useful resources about quarantine rules, caseloads, reopening (or re-closing) plans, and guidance for travelers—it is tough to anticipate all the potential snags of a Covid-era trip.
A smart, safe, luxury vacation within the U.S.—say, in a remote wilderness lodge in Alaska, or on a private sailboat off New England—is possible, but so much depends on your specific individual situation that we recommend you
write to us directly
for personalized advice. We are longtime travel journalists with a network of smart travel sources, so we’re accustomed to cutting through the noise and news to get reliable answers about travel during Covid-19 (which we’ve been collecting in our
Covid-19 Travel section
, which includes intel on
testing
,
insurance
, and
first-hand accounts from travelers
). If you are thinking about a future international trip, we can advise you on that too. Don’t miss our article tracking
which countries are open to U.S. travelers and what you can do there
; if you are fully vaccinated, you can check out the subset of countries
where you can travel if you’re vaccinated without pre-trip testing.
Note that the
CDC now requires all air passengers coming into the U.S.
to have proof of a negative test or documentation of recovery from Covid-19 before they board the plane. This requirement goes for U.S. citizens too. (Masks are required on all forms of public transportation traveling into, within, or out of the United States and in U.S. transportation hubs such as airports and stations.)
Once you land, the
CDC recommends
getting tested 3–5 days later, along with a post-trip self-quarantine of 7 days. Even if you test negative, they advise you to stay home for all 7 days. If you don’t get tested, the quarantine is 10 days. To help with that, we have info on
how to get a quick-turnaround Covid test

COVID-19 Travel
# Every State’s Coronavirus and Travel Information
by [Billie Cohen](https://www.wendyperrin.com/author/billie/ "Posts by Billie Cohen") \| June 28, 2021

Even when you arm yourself with the info below—each state’s most useful resources about quarantine rules, caseloads, reopening (or re-closing) plans, and guidance for travelers—it is tough to anticipate all the potential snags of a Covid-era trip.
A smart, safe, luxury vacation within the U.S.—say, in a remote wilderness lodge in Alaska, or on a private sailboat off New England—is possible, but so much depends on your specific individual situation that we recommend you [write to us directly](https://www.wendyperrin.com/ask-wendy-question/) for personalized advice. We are longtime travel journalists with a network of smart travel sources, so we’re accustomed to cutting through the noise and news to get reliable answers about travel during Covid-19 (which we’ve been collecting in our [Covid-19 Travel section](https://www.wendyperrin.com/category/coronavirus-travel-safe/), which includes intel on [testing](https://www.wendyperrin.com/category/coronavirus-travel-safe/covid-tests-for-travel/), [insurance](https://www.wendyperrin.com/category/travel-insurance/), and [first-hand accounts from travelers](https://www.wendyperrin.com/category/coronavirus-travel-safe/real-trips-right-now/)). If you are thinking about a future international trip, we can advise you on that too. Don’t miss our article tracking [which countries are open to U.S. travelers and what you can do there](https://www.wendyperrin.com/countries-reopened-to-u-s-travelers/); if you are fully vaccinated, you can check out the subset of countries [where you can travel if you’re vaccinated without pre-trip testing.](https://www.wendyperrin.com/where-you-can-travel-if-youre-vaccinated/)
Note that the [CDC now requires all air passengers coming into the U.S.](https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/travelers/testing-air-travel.html) to have proof of a negative test or documentation of recovery from Covid-19 before they board the plane. This requirement goes for U.S. citizens too. (Masks are required on all forms of public transportation traveling into, within, or out of the United States and in U.S. transportation hubs such as airports and stations.)
Once you land, the [CDC recommends](https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/travelers/testing-air-travel.html) getting tested 3–5 days later, along with a post-trip self-quarantine of 7 days. Even if you test negative, they advise you to stay home for all 7 days. If you don’t get tested, the quarantine is 10 days. To help with that, we have info on [how to get a quick-turnaround Covid test](https://www.wendyperrin.com/how-to-get-a-quick-covid-test-for-travel/).

[Traveler Information (Alabama Tourism)](https://alabama.travel/)
Alaska
All nonresidents over the age of 10, including those who have been vaccinated, are asked to upload health declarations and information to Alaska’s [Safe Travels online portal](https://www.alaska.covidsecureapp.com/).
Travelers must provide proof of negative molecular-based SARS-CoV-2 test taken within 72 hours of arrival or take a free COVID-19 test at the airport. If your results are pending or if you take the test at the airport, you must strictly social distance (both at your own expense) until results come back. A second test taken 5 to 14 days after arrival is requested.
Fully vaccinated travelers do not have to test or quarantine.
Travelers who have documentation that they tested positive within the past 90 days do not have to submit to pre-trip testing or testing on arrival, but are strongly encouraged to get tested after 5 to 14 days in the state.
Beginning June 1, 2021, at participating airports, all travelers to Alaska will be eligible to receive a free COVID-19 vaccine.

If you didn’t get tested, self-quarantine for 10 days.

Anyone without a test or proof of the results must quarantine for 10 days. Travelers without a test or who cannot show sufficient proof of a negative test, must quarantine for 10 days or until they can show proof of negative results (testing and quarantine are at travelers’ own expense). All travelers, regardless of testing, will undergo temperature checks on arrival and must fill out a travel and health form. Some airlines are offer pre-flight virus testing to Hawaii-bound passengers.
•[Effective July 8](https://governor.hawaii.gov/newsroom/office-of-the-governor-news-release-hawaii-bound-domestic-travelers-fully-vaccinated-in-u-s-to-bypass-testing-quarantine-starting-july-8/): Travelers who have been fully vaccinated in the U.S. can bypass Hawaii’s pre-trip Covid test and quarantine requirement. Travelers must upload their CDC card to the state’s [Safe Travels Program](https://travel.hawaii.gov/#/) and bring the card with them to Hawaii.
•Only certain tests are accepted by the state of Hawaii: FDA-approved NAAT nasal swab test from a [CLIA-certified approved partner laboratory](https://hawaiicovid19.com/travel-partners/).
•Covid tests and quarantine are no longer required for travel between islands.

Travelers from domestic locations have no travel restrictions, but are advised to follow CDC guidelines, including getting a PCR test 3-5 days after travel.
[Travelers returning from cruises or international travel must quarantine for 10 day](https://www.covidguidance.nh.gov/out-state-visitors)s. They may test out of quarantine if they take a PCR test on day 6 or 7 (antigen/rapid tests are unacceptable), results come back negative, and they are asymptomatic. But the state advises these travelers to self-monitor for symptoms for all 10 days and strictly adhere to mitigation measures.
Travelers do not need to quarantine for 10 days or get tested for COVID-19 if either of the following apply: They have had both doses of a Covid-19 vaccination and more then 14 days have passed since receiving the second dose, OR they tested positive for active COVID-19 infection (by PCR or antigen testing) in the last 90 days (if the infection was more than 90 days ago, then the traveler must follow the quarantine rules).

| Readable Markdown | Even when you arm yourself with the info below—each state’s most useful resources about quarantine rules, caseloads, reopening (or re-closing) plans, and guidance for travelers—it is tough to anticipate all the potential snags of a Covid-era trip.
A smart, safe, luxury vacation within the U.S.—say, in a remote wilderness lodge in Alaska, or on a private sailboat off New England—is possible, but so much depends on your specific individual situation that we recommend you [write to us directly](https://www.wendyperrin.com/ask-wendy-question/) for personalized advice. We are longtime travel journalists with a network of smart travel sources, so we’re accustomed to cutting through the noise and news to get reliable answers about travel during Covid-19 (which we’ve been collecting in our [Covid-19 Travel section](https://www.wendyperrin.com/category/coronavirus-travel-safe/), which includes intel on [testing](https://www.wendyperrin.com/category/coronavirus-travel-safe/covid-tests-for-travel/), [insurance](https://www.wendyperrin.com/category/travel-insurance/), and [first-hand accounts from travelers](https://www.wendyperrin.com/category/coronavirus-travel-safe/real-trips-right-now/)). If you are thinking about a future international trip, we can advise you on that too. Don’t miss our article tracking [which countries are open to U.S. travelers and what you can do there](https://www.wendyperrin.com/countries-reopened-to-u-s-travelers/); if you are fully vaccinated, you can check out the subset of countries [where you can travel if you’re vaccinated without pre-trip testing.](https://www.wendyperrin.com/where-you-can-travel-if-youre-vaccinated/)
Note that the [CDC now requires all air passengers coming into the U.S.](https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/travelers/testing-air-travel.html) to have proof of a negative test or documentation of recovery from Covid-19 before they board the plane. This requirement goes for U.S. citizens too. (Masks are required on all forms of public transportation traveling into, within, or out of the United States and in U.S. transportation hubs such as airports and stations.)
Once you land, the [CDC recommends](https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/travelers/testing-air-travel.html) getting tested 3–5 days later, along with a post-trip self-quarantine of 7 days. Even if you test negative, they advise you to stay home for all 7 days. If you don’t get tested, the quarantine is 10 days. To help with that, we have info on [how to get a quick-turnaround Covid test](https://www.wendyperrin.com/how-to-get-a-quick-covid-test-for-travel/).

Travelers from domestic locations have no travel restrictions, but are advised to follow CDC guidelines, including getting a PCR test 3-5 days after travel.
[Travelers returning from cruises or international travel must quarantine for 10 day](https://www.covidguidance.nh.gov/out-state-visitors)s.
