Beginning Thursday, those who do not want to be subject to the state’s 14-day mandatory travelers quarantine must take an approved COVID-19 test within 72 hours prior to departure from the final leg of travel (children younger than 5 will not be required to take a test).
The test must be done through one of the state’s 17 “trusted testing partners.” No other test results will be accepted.
Negative test results can be uploaded on the Safe Travels Digital Platform, and all travelers must also complete the state’s mandatory travel and health form on this digital platform. Travelers are encouraged to do this step 24 hours prior to arrival. Airport screeners will review information upon arrival and conduct temperature screenings.
