1. Should I travel within the United States?
Cases of coronavirus disease (COVID-19) have been reported in all states, and some areas are experiencing community spread of the disease. Travel increases your chances of getting and spreading COVID-19. During the President’s 30 Days to Slow the Spread campaign, CDC recommends you stay home as much as possible, especially if your trip is not essential, and practice social distancing, especially if you are at higher risk of severe illness. Don’t travel if you are sick or travel with someone who is sick.
2. What is the difference between essential errands and essential travel?
Essential Errands: These trips involve travel within your local area. As communities across the United States take steps to slow the spread of COVID-19 by limiting close contact, people are facing new challenges and questions about how to safely run essential errands to meet basic household needs, like:
• Grocery shopping
• Getting delivery or takeout food
• Banking
• Getting gasoline
• Going to the doctor or getting medicine
CDC provides advice about how to meet these essential household needs in a safe and healthy manner.
Essential Travel: These trips involve travel outside of your local area. Some travel may be essential, like:
• Travel to provide medical or home care to others
• Travel necessary for a job considered an essential service
3. How can I find out about travel restrictions in different states?
The COVID-19 outbreak in United States is a rapidly evolving situation. The status of the outbreak varies by location and state and local authorities are updating their guidance frequently. If you must travel, check with the state or local authorities where you are, along your route, and at your planned destination to learn about local circumstances and any restrictions that may be in place.
