Got this from the Paris Consulate this morning, also included a reminder that FRANCE itself is under curfew from 6PM to 6AM starting tomorrow.
“...Beginning Tuesday, January 26, U.S. citizens and all other travelers flying into the United States will need to present either a negative COVID-19 viral or antibody test performed within three days prior to boarding or evidence of having contracted and recovered from COVID-19 within 90 days before boarding.
· United States citizens ARE subject to this requirement.
· COVID-19 vaccination does not satisfy this requirement. Vaccinated travelers must still present negative test results.
· Additional information is available from the CDC website andthe U.S. Embassy COVID-19 website. Please note, this new requirement does not change Presidential Proclamation 9993 prohibiting most travel by non-U.S. citizens from the Schengen Zone to the United States, nor the similar French ban on non-French travelers from the United States to France. Both bans remain in effect. More information can be found on our website and the website of the French Embassy in Washington.”
SO, what is the use of a vaccine if you still have to take a test? And, the three day limit is absurd because in at least two cases, I didn’t get my results back in time.
Thank you. This is good to know.
Someone should put out an alert to all the travel industry trade groups that I will not be spending any money on travel until this silliness subsides.
I have had the virus, and I recovered quite nicely, thank you very much.
