Travel Guidance

Domestic Travel 

For those traveling to/from New Jersey, domestic travel is defined as lasting 24 hours or longer to states or US territories other than those connected to New Jersey, such as Pennsylvania, New York and Delaware.

If you are NOT up-to-date with your COVID-19 vaccines, you should get tested 1-3 days before your trip and 3-5 days after travel.

The CDC also recommends staying hone and self-quarantining for 5 days after domestic travel. If you are up-to-date on your COVID-19 vaccines or if you have recovered from COVID-19 in the past three months, you do not need to get tested or self-quarantine after travel. However, the CDC recommends self-monitoring for COVID-19 symptoms and isolating and getting tested if you develop symptoms.

Wearing a mask over your nose and mouth is required on planes, buses, trains and other forms of public transportation traveling into, within or out of the United States and while indoors at U.S. transportation hubs such as airports and stations.

For more information, refer to the CDC's guidance for domestic travel or the NJ Department of Health's travel page.  

International Travel

The CDC recommends delaying travel until you are up-to-date with your COVID-19 vaccines. Before traveling internationally, check the COVID-19 situation at your destination and follow any requirements at your destination, including mask-wearing, proof of vaccination, testing, or quarantine.

After arrival to the United States, all travelers should get tested with a COVID-19 viral test 3-5 days after travel, self-monitor for COVID-19 symptoms, and isolate and get tested if symptoms develop. If you are NOT vaccinated or NOT up-to-date with your COVID-19 vaccines, you should stay home and self-quarantine for a full 5 days after travel.
