Are not in place, you will want to take steps to protect others on your return. This means quarantine and return tests, even if it is not required by your state . "

Remember that no vaccine is 100% effective - your risk To be exposed to COVID-19 when you are always traveling and we are always learning how COVID-19 vaccines protect people from the spread of the disease.
