Thinking of traveling in the U.S? These states have travel restrictions.

Nearly half of the states have measures in place for visitors, from mandatory testing to quarantine requirements.

In the United States, gas prices are down while the number of coronavirus cases are up, making the decision of how to vacation during this unprecedented summer a complex one. Meanwhile, state restrictions on travelers are constantly evolving, with some requiring mandatory testing and others imposing quarantine requirements.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention notes that travel increases aperson’s chance of getting and spreading the virus. “Staying home is the best way to protect yourself and others from Covid-19,” the federal agency cautions. 

For those who do take a trip, the C.D.C. notes that each mode of transportation has its own risks, and offers a series of recommendations for safety: that people wear a face mask in public, wash hands frequently, avoid touching their face, keep six feet from others, cover coughs and sneezes, and use drive-through service and curbside pickup at restaurants and stores.

Here is a summary of current restrictions in the United States for leisure travelers, although some requirements do not apply to those spending less than a day in the state. Many states also have exemptions for essential workers who are on the job, including health care workers, members of the military and others, but even they are subject to some restrictions.

With the number of coronavirus cases surging across the country, check the areas you plan to visit before you travel. Some municipalities or counties may have more stringent regulations than issued by their state.
