Americans who are fully vaccinated can safely travel both domestically and internationally, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention announced Friday.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

Fully vaccinated people of any nationality arriving to the U.S. from other countries no longer have to quarantine upon arrival, and Americans can leave the U.S. without testing negative before boarding an international fight.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

A negative test result will still be required for people of all nationalities flying to the U.S. from international locations, including Americans returning to the U.S. from abroad. People arriving to the U.S. should still get a test within three to five days of arrival, the CDC said.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>
\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

People traveling internationally from the U.S. to other countries may still need to test or quarantine, depending on the destination country\u2019s guidelines.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n

However, the Trump administration rule barring travelers from China, Iran, the UK, Ireland, Brazil, South Africa and parts of Europe from entering the U.S. is still in place, with exceptions for some essential business travel.<\/p>\n

It comes as travel hits pandemic-highs, and after months of resistance from the CDC to allowing Americans to move freely throughout the country.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n

\u2018With millions of Americans getting vaccinated every day, it is important to update the public on the latest science about what fully vaccinated people can do safely, now including guidance on safe travel,\u2019 said CDC Director Dr Rochelle Walensky.<\/p>\n

\u2018We continue to encourage every American to get vaccinated as soon as it\u2019s their turn, so we can begin to safely take steps back to our everyday lives.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n

\u2018Vaccines can help us return to the things we love about life, so we encourage every American to get vaccinated as soon as they have the opportunity.\u2019<\/p>
