As new coronavirus variants gain traction across the United States, summer travelers are facing a familiar and tiresome question: How will the ever-mutating virus affect travel plans?
In light of updated guidelines from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the answers may be slightly different from those in previous years.
Here’s what to know about traveling this summer if you’re worried about — or think you might have — Covid-19.
Recent C.D.C. data show that Covid infections are rising or most likely rising in more than 40 states. Hospitalization rates and deaths, while low compared with the peaks seen in previous years, are also on the rise.
The uptick is tied to a handful of variants — named KP.2, KP.3 and LB.1 — that now account for a majority of new cases.

Why would I test for COVID in the first place now?
If you test for COVID you are an idiot.
Yeah, no. I’m not testing before travel.
Never tested before, not about to start. Anyone testing for this needs to be shipped to retard Island with all the rest of the tards.
Would you travel if sick with any other variety of the flu? Why would you test for it?
Last published measurement was about 50 deaths/day to Covid and that’s nationwide. A trivial number.
And no, that is not car wreck victims misattributed. If that sort of thing ever happened, it was 3 years ago when for a brief time, there was financial incentive for hospitals. That ended.
The 50 number is real. And it is insignificant. I know people thought it went to zero. It did not. If an oldster dies after testing positive, and had relentlessly decreasing blood oxygen level as he approached death, any rational doc will declare that a Covid death. This is largely in accordance with WHO norms. The attending physician makes a call that cause of death was substantially Covid.
Numbers tiny. A variant could change that at any time.
Just do like all my democrat acquaintances.. don’t test when you’re sick!
They ALL do that - to try to prove to me that their shot really worked. “..I got my shots and NEVER got Covid!…”.
-Gee, you’re sick right now, did you get tested?
“No! Why should I? - I got all my shots!..”
But.. I’M the one who has no common sense..
If you test positive for Covid and others find out, then yeah : they’ll freak out and won’t let you travel.
If I have the common cold, I’m not telling them!
If you read the new York Times, can you still think on your own??
A friend of mine just reported she has covid
Lives in shiphole nyc, no one here in NC has it that I know or others being reported on.
What a scam.
But if people are really sick, they don't travel or come into the office. It's really simple, the same as if they have bad colds, or the flu, or a really bad hangover after a weekend.
Nobody talks about it much or bothers to take the tests anymore.
They got the political use they wanted out of Covid. Nobody cares what you do if you have, anymore.
Anyone asking this question should be tested for stupidity.
Sure. Just don’t tell anybody and try not to breathe on other folks.
So COVID is the only way and old person can die with depleting O2 levels. I wonder what killed them before COVID? Oh I know. White supremacy and climate change.
