Many nations are enacting stringent travel restrictions or travel bans, and new policies are being implemented daily. It's common to request proof of a negative Covid-19 test before being allowed on an international flight. The IATA is also maintaining a comprehensive country-by-country list of Covid-19 restrictions on travel.

Most commercial airlines have reduced routes because of the pandemic. In addition, several hotels, restaurants, and attractions around the world have put restrictions in place to avoid large gatherings.

It’s uncertain when travel restrictions will lift completely. If you’re considering a trip, the resources here are a helpful place to start.

Travelers returning home are advised to self-monitor for symptoms and follow their country’s national protocols, which may include self-quarantine for the incubation period.

If symptoms do occur, travelers are advised to seek medical care and inform healthcare providers of their symptoms and their travel history.
