The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has removed its recommendation for travelers to quarantine for 14 days after returning from trips out of state or overseas during the pandemic.

While updating its travel guidelines on Aug. 21, the CDC still advises that travel increases the risk of contracting and spreading the CCP (Chinese Communist Party) virus, adding that staying at home is “the best way to protect yourself and others from COVID-19.”
