COVID-19 does not take a break during the holidays. Remember to wear a mask, practice physical distancing, wash your hands often, and get your COVID-19 and flu shots.

If you are considering traveling for a holiday or event, visit CDC’s Travel page to help you decide what is best for you and your family. CDC still recommends delaying travel until you are fully vaccinated.

If you are not fully vaccinated and must travel, follow CDC’s domestic travel or international travel recommendations for unvaccinated people.
If you will be traveling in a group or family with unvaccinated people, choose safer travel options.
Everyone, even people who are fully vaccinated, are required to wear a mask on public transportation and follow international travel recommendations.
You might choose to wear a mask regardless of the level of transmission if a member of your household has a weakened immune system, is at increased risk for severe disease, or is unvaccinated.
If you are gathering with a group of people from multiple households and potentially from different parts of the country, you could consider additional precautions (e.g., avoiding crowded indoor spaces before travel, taking a test) in advance of gathering to further reduce risk.
