The CDC provides consideration for travelers as the world begins to return to a new normal.

For those who are planning long-distance travel away from home, the CDC has provided a guide for the public as a reminder to be careful and cautious when traveling an upon return home.

“COVID-19 cases and deaths have been reported in all 50 states, and the situation is constantly changing. Because travel increases your chances of getting infected and spreading COVID-19, staying home is the best way to protect yourself and others from getting sick,” the CDC says.

Anyone thinking about traveling away from home is urged by the CDC to ask:

Is COVID-19 spreading where you’re going?
Is COVID-19 spreading in your community?
Will you or those you are traveling with be within 6 feet of others during or after your trip?
Are you or those you are traveling with more likely to get very ill from COVID-19?Do you live with someone who is more likely to get very ill from COVID-19?
Does the state or local government where you live or at your destination require you to stay home for 14 days after traveling?
If you get sick with COVID-19, will you have to miss work or school?
