The US will require a negative COVID-19 test from international travelers starting January 26

"Testing before and after travel is a critical layer to slow the introduction and spread of COVID-19," the CDC said in an email statement sent to Insider. "This strategy is consistent with the current phase of the pandemic and more efficiently protects the health of Americans."

Travelers looking to fly to the US will have to obtain a negative viral test within three days prior to the flight. The travelers will then have to provide a copy of the lab test results to the airlines or provide documented proof of having recovered from the virus.

The CDC further advises both getting another COVID-19 test three to five days after arriving, and staying home for a week.
