NEW YORK – The US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention issued guidance on Wednesday that the public avoid winter holiday travel in order to reduce the spread of COVID-19. The agency also guided that if travel is unavoidable, people should be tested for the SARS-CoV-2 virus before leaving and after they return home.
In a call with the media, CDC representatives further guided that the quarantine time can be reduced in some cases, and that people who decide to travel should reduce non-essential activities for a period upon returning, whether or not they test negative.
