They appear to come from a point within the constellation of Lyra — near its brightest star, Vega — but like other meteors, they can appear anywhere in the sky.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Lyrids originate from dust particles left by Comet Thatcher, discovered in 1861. The Lyrid meteor shower usually produces only 10-15 meteors per hour at its peak, so catching sight of them might take a bit of patience.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The best time to see the Lyrids is after sunset on April 21, and before moonrise in the early morning. The shower will last from around April 15 through April 29, according to \u003ca href=\"https://earthsky.org/astronomy-essentials/earthskys-meteor-shower-guide/\">EarthSky\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>August: Perseid meteor showers\u003c/strong>\u003cbr>\nProbably the most popular meteor shower out there, and the most reliably bountiful, the Perseids will be visible from the Bay Area's night skies in mid-August.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Perseids originate from Comet Swift-Tuttle, discovered in 1862.

But the shower has a long range — from July 14 to Sept. 1 — and it's \"very reliable,\" Burress said. If you're somewhere with nice dark skies, your chances of seeing even the fainter meteors at a rate of \"50 or 60 meteors per hour\" are rather good, he says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"You might expect to see one every minute or so.

They appear to come from a point within the constellation of Lyra — near its brightest star, Vega — but like other meteors, they can appear anywhere in the sky.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Lyrids originate from dust particles left by Comet Thatcher, discovered in 1861. The Lyrid meteor shower usually produces only 10-15 meteors per hour at its peak, so catching sight of them might take a bit of patience.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The best time to see the Lyrids is after sunset on April 21, and before moonrise in the early morning. The shower will last from around April 15 through April 29, according to \u003ca href=\"https://earthsky.org/astronomy-essentials/earthskys-meteor-shower-guide/\">EarthSky\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>August: Perseid meteor showers\u003c/strong>\u003cbr>\nProbably the most popular meteor shower out there, and the most reliably bountiful, the Perseids will be visible from the Bay Area's night skies in mid-August.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Perseids originate from Comet Swift-Tuttle, discovered in 1862. This comet was said to have a nucleus of about 16 miles across — twice the size of the asteroid that brought about the extinction of dinosaurs. Perseids radiate from a point in the Perseus the Hero constellation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The predicted peak, where the shower is expected to produce the most meteors, is in the wee hours of Aug. 11-13, before dawn on those days. But the shower has a long range — from July 14 to Sept. 1 — and it's \"very reliable,\" Burress said. If you're somewhere with nice dark skies, your chances of seeing even the fainter meteors at a rate of \"50 or 60 meteors per hour\" are rather good, he says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"You might expect to see one every minute or so.

The new rules, announced Wednesday, will allow fully vaccinated foreign nationals to enter the U.S. regardless of the reason for travel starting in early November, when a similar easing of restrictions is set to kick in for air travel into the country. By mid-January, even essential travelers seeking to enter the U.S., like truck drivers, will need to be fully vaccinated.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Both Mexico and Canada have pressed the U.S. for months to ease restrictions on travel that have separated families and curtailed leisure trips since the onset of the pandemic. The latest move follows last month's announcement that \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11889103/white-house-to-lift-travel-restrictions-into-u-s-for-vaccinated-foreign-nationals\">the U.S. will end country-based travel bans for air travel\u003c/a> and instead require vaccination for foreign nationals seeking to enter by plane.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2 class=\"ap-sans-medium pt-0\">Reactions from the borders\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Families separated by COVID-19 restrictions and beleaguered business owners rejoiced Wednesday after the announcement that the U.S. will be reopening its land borders next month.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The ban has had enormous social and cultural impact, preventing family gatherings when relatives live on different sides of the border. Community events have stalled even as cities away from U.S. borders have inched toward normalcy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“This is a win for families who’ve been separated and businesses and tourism industries whose operations have been blocked since the start of the pandemic,” said U.S. Sen. Jeanne Shaheen of New Hampshire, echoing reactions of other federal, state and local officials.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Travel across land borders from Canada and Mexico has been largely restricted to workers whose jobs are deemed essential. That's hurt business as well as families: In Del Rio, Texas, Mexican visitors account for about 65% of retail sales, said Blanca Larson, executive director of the chamber of commerce and visitors bureau in the city of 35,000 people.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Along the border, we’re like more of one community than two different communities,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Shopping malls and big box retailers in U.S. border towns whose parking spaces had been filled by cars with Mexican license plates were hit hard by travel restrictions.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>San Diego Mayor Todd Gloria said the economic impact was hard to quantify but can be seen in the sparse presence of shoppers at a high-end outlet mall on the city’s border with Tijuana, Mexico. The decision comes at a critical time ahead of the holiday shopping season.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Cross-border traffic has plummeted since the pandemic, according to U.S. Department of Transportation figures. The number of vehicle passengers entering the U.S. in Niagara Falls, New York — the busiest land crossing on the Canadian border — fell 83% to 1.7 million in 2020 and has remained low this year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Losing those customers over the last 18 months has been one of the primary reasons our hotels, restaurants and attractions have been suffering,” said Patrick Kaler, president and chief executive of Visit Buffalo Niagara, the area’s tourism agency.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>A change coming in November\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Senior administration officials had previewed the new land border policy late Tuesday.

Like Burglewski's family, people are flocking to outdoor activities, rural areas and private vacation rentals, many with less interest in hotels and international and urban destinations.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And early evidence shows that despite the delta variant and still-high cases of infection in the U.S., Americans are planning to continue to travel from now to the end of the year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We fully expect that leisure demand, especially on the weekends, continues to be strong in the fall and winter,\" says Jan Freitag, director of hospitality analytics in the U.S. for CoStar Group.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>After a big drop, the industry shows signs of recovery\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>It's a big change from the earlier months of the pandemic, when the industry took a massive hit.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the U.S., travel spending plummeted by nearly $500 billion, according to the \u003ca href=\"https://www.ustravel.org/research/fact-sheet-travels-dramatic-losses-2020\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">U.S. Travel Association\u003c/a>. Thousands of jobs were lost as well: \u003ca href=\"https://www.ustravel.org/toolkit/power-travel-coalition-advocacy-toolkit\">Sixty-five percent of all U.S. jobs lost in 2020 were supported by travel.\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>To be sure, pandemic uncertainty is still causing some whiplash for businesses. Just last month, Southwest Airlines and other \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2021/09/18/1038222049/economy-delta-travel-restaurants-vacation-uber-airbnb-southwestairlines\">businesses reported they would pull back\u003c/a> this fall.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Still, the U.S. travel sector is bouncing back from its pandemic lows, businesses and experts say. The travel association reports that travel spending is inching back up to 2019 levels. Hotel occupancy this summer recovered to just shy of pre-pandemic numbers: nearly 70% in July this year, compared to 73% during July 2019, according to STR, which provides data and research on the global hospitality industry.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Airline bookings — at least domestically — also are approaching pre-pandemic levels.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The rollout of vaccinations has made a big difference, says Paula Twidale, senior vice president of AAA Travel.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The travel agency has \"been experiencing a travel boom all year,\" she says. \"The domestic travel increase has been phenomenal.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Americans are traveling in ways shaped by the pandemic\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>The Burglewski's family vacation in Nashville, Indiana, reflects many of the new realities. Most family members wore masks indoors and stayed outside as much as possible. They hiked and played four square at a nearby playground.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>They chose a rental home — with a porch to gather on — over a big hotel.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We feel like we can control the environment more,\" Burglewski says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Some people in the family still really want to do a cruise,\" he says, \"but others said they don't think they would ever be comfortable doing something like that again.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Other Americans were making similar choices over the summer — and in record numbers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Vrbo has experienced its best year ever,\" says Melanie Fish, a company spokesperson. That makes a lot of sense, she says, because private vacation homes in the U.S. were in high demand during the pandemic.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Families also stayed longer. For instance, Airbnb has seen a rise in families renting properties for three- and four-day weekends. That's been easier because so many companies have delayed returning to the office or \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2021/05/06/994123311/google-adapts-to-long-term-telework-offers-employees-hybrid-work-week\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">announced flexible workweeks\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Travelers chose mountains over skyscrapers\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Where travelers are going also is changing. Coastal areas have been popular, says Yu, the George Washington professor, with more people taking advantage of kayaking, boating or canoeing activities. Small towns are popular, too. For instance, \u003ca href=\"https://news.airbnb.com/2021-travel-report/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">42% of the nights booked by families\u003c/a> on Airbnb this summer were in rural destinations, up from 32% two years ago.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"There's been big growth in those areas,\" says Christopher Nulty, Airbnb's public affairs director. Early in the pandemic, he notes, \"people were forced to travel to destinations a car ride away and they were able to find that great places exist just a tank of gas away.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Vrbo experienced similar demand for more local travel. \u003ca href=\"https://www.vrbo.com/media-center/press-releases/2021/vrbo-reports-another-boom-in-drivable-destinations\">Trips of 250 miles or less in July and August increased\u003c/a> by over 20% compared to the same time in 2019, according to the company's latest data.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The greater emphasis on nature and outdoor activities is reflected in the popularity of U.S. national parks. Since seeing a major drop-off in visitors in the early months of the pandemic, the National Park Service has experienced a healthy system-wide rebound in 2021.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Yellowstone National Park, for instance, had 921,844 visitors in August 2021, making it \u003ca href=\"https://www.nps.gov/yell/learn/news/21026.htm\">the most-visited August on record\u003c/a> and outpacing the pre-pandemic total for the same month by 12%, according to the NPS.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Experts predict a busy fall and winter\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Though coronavirus cases have been declining and some foreign countries have reopened, U.S. travelers are staying cautious and, for now, close to home.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The delta variant will continue to put a small damper on corporate demand, but the American consumers are seemingly undeterred,\" Freitag with CoStar Group, says. \"And as delta cases decline, we expect that leisure demand will hold.\" [aside tag=\"travel, tourism\" label=\"More Related Stories\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://newsroom.aaa.com/2021/09/pandemic-prompts-more-americans-to-consider-travel-insurance/\">More than 50% of American adults plan to take a domestic vacation before the end of 2022\u003c/a>, according to AAA.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Vrbo's outlook for this fall and winter also is looking good, with \"heightened demand\" for homes in December compared to previous years, says Nancy Lien, a company spokesperson.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"\u003ca href=\"https://urldefense.com/v3/__https:/www.vrbo.com/media-center/press-releases/2021/christmas-in-july-vrbo-data-reveals-rush-to-book-december-vacations__;!!Iwwt!G2wsW_Q4Oc6B-q3QgwEQMrktQLAeqzN3i3DB8oHHhXWPuk23nNCUxTiVqS4%24\">Demand for holiday bookings started picking up\u003c/a> as early as July,\" she says. \"Warmer destinations like the Florida Keys and Naples, Florida, have fewer than 30% of Vrbo homes remaining during Christmas week.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Ski destinations in the U.S. are a top choice as well.

Like Burglewski's family, people are flocking to outdoor activities, rural areas and private vacation rentals, many with less interest in hotels and international and urban destinations.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And early evidence shows that despite the delta variant and still-high cases of infection in the U.S., Americans are planning to continue to travel from now to the end of the year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We fully expect that leisure demand, especially on the weekends, continues to be strong in the fall and winter,\" says Jan Freitag, director of hospitality analytics in the U.S. for CoStar Group.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>After a big drop, the industry shows signs of recovery\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>It's a big change from the earlier months of the pandemic, when the industry took a massive hit.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the U.S., travel spending plummeted by nearly $500 billion, according to the \u003ca href=\"https://www.ustravel.org/research/fact-sheet-travels-dramatic-losses-2020\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">U.S. Travel Association\u003c/a>. Thousands of jobs were lost as well: \u003ca href=\"https://www.ustravel.org/toolkit/power-travel-coalition-advocacy-toolkit\">Sixty-five percent of all U.S. jobs lost in 2020 were supported by travel.\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>To be sure, pandemic uncertainty is still causing some whiplash for businesses. Just last month, Southwest Airlines and other \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2021/09/18/1038222049/economy-delta-travel-restaurants-vacation-uber-airbnb-southwestairlines\">businesses reported they would pull back\u003c/a> this fall.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Still, the U.S. travel sector is bouncing back from its pandemic lows, businesses and experts say. The travel association reports that travel spending is inching back up to 2019 levels. Hotel occupancy this summer recovered to just shy of pre-pandemic numbers: nearly 70% in July this year, compared to 73% during July 2019, according to STR, which provides data and research on the global hospitality industry.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Airline bookings — at least domestically — also are approaching pre-pandemic levels.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The rollout of vaccinations has made a big difference, says Paula Twidale, senior vice president of AAA Travel.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The travel agency has \"been experiencing a travel boom all year,\" she says. \"The domestic travel increase has been phenomenal.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Americans are traveling in ways shaped by the pandemic\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>The Burglewski's family vacation in Nashville, Indiana, reflects many of the new realities. Most family members wore masks indoors and stayed outside as much as possible. They hiked and played four square at a nearby playground.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>They chose a rental home — with a porch to gather on — over a big hotel.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We feel like we can control the environment more,\" Burglewski says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Some people in the family still really want to do a cruise,\" he says, \"but others said they don't think they would ever be comfortable doing something like that again.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Other Americans were making similar choices over the summer — and in record numbers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Vrbo has experienced its best year ever,\" says Melanie Fish, a company spokesperson. That makes a lot of sense, she says, because private vacation homes in the U.S. were in high demand during the pandemic.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Families also stayed longer. For instance, Airbnb has seen a rise in families renting properties for three- and four-day weekends. That's been easier because so many companies have delayed returning to the office or \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2021/05/06/994123311/google-adapts-to-long-term-telework-offers-employees-hybrid-work-week\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">announced flexible workweeks\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Travelers chose mountains over skyscrapers\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Where travelers are going also is changing. Coastal areas have been popular, says Yu, the George Washington professor, with more people taking advantage of kayaking, boating or canoeing activities. Small towns are popular, too. For instance, \u003ca href=\"https://news.airbnb.com/2021-travel-report/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">42% of the nights booked by families\u003c/a> on Airbnb this summer were in rural destinations, up from 32% two years ago.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"There's been big growth in those areas,\" says Christopher Nulty, Airbnb's public affairs director. Early in the pandemic, he notes, \"people were forced to travel to destinations a car ride away and they were able to find that great places exist just a tank of gas away.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Vrbo experienced similar demand for more local travel. \u003ca href=\"https://www.vrbo.com/media-center/press-releases/2021/vrbo-reports-another-boom-in-drivable-destinations\">Trips of 250 miles or less in July and August increased\u003c/a> by over 20% compared to the same time in 2019, according to the company's latest data.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The greater emphasis on nature and outdoor activities is reflected in the popularity of U.S. national parks. Since seeing a major drop-off in visitors in the early months of the pandemic, the National Park Service has experienced a healthy system-wide rebound in 2021.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Yellowstone National Park, for instance, had 921,844 visitors in August 2021, making it \u003ca href=\"https://www.nps.gov/yell/learn/news/21026.htm\">the most-visited August on record\u003c/a> and outpacing the pre-pandemic total for the same month by 12%, according to the NPS.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Experts predict a busy fall and winter\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Though coronavirus cases have been declining and some foreign countries have reopened, U.S. travelers are staying cautious and, for now, close to home.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The delta variant will continue to put a small damper on corporate demand, but the American consumers are seemingly undeterred,\" Freitag with CoStar Group, says. \"And as delta cases decline, we expect that leisure demand will hold.\" \u003c/p>\u003c/div>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}},{"type":"component","content":"","name":"aside","attributes":{"named":{"tag":"travel, tourism","label":"More Related Stories "},"numeric":[]}},{"type":"contentString","content":"\u003cdiv class=\"post-body\">\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://newsroom.aaa.com/2021/09/pandemic-prompts-more-americans-to-consider-travel-insurance/\">More than 50% of American adults plan to take a domestic vacation before the end of 2022\u003c/a>, according to AAA.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Vrbo's outlook for this fall and winter also is looking good, with \"heightened demand\" for homes in December compared to previous years, says Nancy Lien, a company spokesperson.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"\u003ca href=\"https://urldefense.com/v3/__https:/www.vrbo.com/media-center/press-releases/2021/christmas-in-july-vrbo-data-reveals-rush-to-book-december-vacations__;!!Iwwt!G2wsW_Q4Oc6B-q3QgwEQMrktQLAeqzN3i3DB8oHHhXWPuk23nNCUxTiVqS4%24\">Demand for holiday bookings started picking up\u003c/a> as early as July,\" she says. \"Warmer destinations like the Florida Keys and Naples, Florida, have fewer than 30% of Vrbo homes remaining during Christmas week.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Ski destinations in the U.S. are a top choice as well.

Most countries are asking airline personnel to verify the test. A positive result means the trip is off. That's the case in Egypt, some European countries and Israel. And you can't leave Ben Gurion Airport in Tel Aviv, Israel, after arrival in the country without taking a coronavirus test; airport personnel usher everyone to the clinic tent right after baggage claim.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Even if you're vaccinated and tested negative for the coronavirus, you may have to quarantine. Samoa, for example, requires a minimum 21-day quarantine for all incoming passengers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside postID=\"news_11874128\" hero=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2021/05/RS49056_GettyImages-1218880487-qut-1020x680.jpg\"]Keep up on testing requirements before your departure. They definitely change. Because of the high rate of cases, Namibia on June 1 changed its visitor entry rules from a simple self-test for the coronavirus to a typically more expensive laboratory test conducted before leaving your home country and not older than seven days before your arrival.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The State Department site dates its updates so you can see when a change was made, and it also provides links to specific country guidelines provided by U.S. consulates and embassies.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Check the latest requirements three days before your flight just to make sure. In the Bay Area, all three major airports offer COVID-19 testing on-site. Oakland International Airport is the only one that \u003ca href=\"https://www.oaklandairport.com/oakland-airport-offering-free-rapid-result-covid-19-airport-testing-program/\">provides free testing\u003c/a>, conducted by CityHealth. And airport testing sites might have limited hours, so check before you head to the airport.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Get alerted.\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It's a good idea to sign up for notices on international travel from the State Department, says Zane Kerby, president of the American Society of Travel Advisors. In Portugal, for example, increased cases of the COVID-19 variant known as Delta, identified as likely more transmissible and causing more severe disease, has put the country at a higher risk level.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Bring proof of health insurance. Even if you're a veteran traveler who knows that your insurance carrier covers you overseas, be sure to check on COVID-19 coverage before you leave. Some countries, such as Argentina, require that you have a notice from your health insurer that specifically mentions COVID-19 coverage as proof that you are covered for the virus. Cambodia requires all foreigners to purchase insurance from the government on arrival: $90 for 20 days of coverage. Also check to see if your policy covers medical evacuation insurance, or consider buying a separate policy if not. Travel specialists say it's a wise investment during a pandemic.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The CDC offers great background information on health insurance and foreign travel on its site. If you buy a supplemental plan, the State Department site recommends looking for one that will pay for care directly rather than reimburse you so out-of-pocket expenses are limited.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11877921\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 2560px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-full wp-image-11877921\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2021/06/GettyImages-1229672390-1-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"A traveler receives an in-airport Covid-19 nasal swab test a day before his flight to Hawaii at Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) in Los Angeles on Nov. 18, 2020.\" width=\"2560\" height=\"1707\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2021/06/GettyImages-1229672390-1-scaled.jpg 2560w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2021/06/GettyImages-1229672390-1-800x533.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2021/06/GettyImages-1229672390-1-1020x680.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2021/06/GettyImages-1229672390-1-160x107.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2021/06/GettyImages-1229672390-1-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2021/06/GettyImages-1229672390-1-2048x1365.jpg 2048w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2021/06/GettyImages-1229672390-1-1920x1280.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 2560px) 100vw, 2560px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">A traveler receives an in-airport COVID-19 nasal swab test a day before his flight to Hawaii at Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) in Los Angeles on Nov. 18, 2020. \u003ccite>(Patrick Fallon/AFP via Getty Images)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003ch3>Brush up on testing requirements.\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>All air passengers coming to the United States — residents who have traveled abroad and visitors as well — are required to have a negative coronavirus viral test no more than three days before travel or documentation of recovery from COVID-19 in the past three months before they will be allowed to board a flight to the United States.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That test can be either a so-called molecular test done at a laboratory that can detect specific genetic material from the virus and is the most precise test, or an antigen test — which can be done as a self-test — which detects proteins on the surface of the virus if you were infected.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside label ='Related Coverage' tag='coronavirus']Embassy and consular notes on the State Department's travel website offer detailed information on locations for a molecular test in each country if available.

Right now, only two airlines are making self-tests easily available: United and American – and you need to be able to perform the self-test while conducting a telehealth visit with a designated clinic.

That's because the lab test can be more accurate than the self-test, according to guidelines published by the Infectious Diseases Society of America.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Don't forget your mask.

Even if you're a veteran traveler who knows that your insurance carrier covers you overseas, be sure to check on COVID-19 coverage before you leave. Some countries, such as Argentina, require that you have a notice from your health insurer that specifically mentions COVID-19 coverage as proof that you are covered for the virus. Cambodia requires all foreigners to purchase insurance from the government on arrival: $90 for 20 days of coverage. Also check to see if your policy covers medical evacuation insurance, or consider buying a separate policy if not.
