Great news if you are planning to travel outside the US this summer! The CDC is dropping the Covid 19 testing requirement to return to the US Sunday, June 12th. This was the last barrier for international travel. You probably heard stories about travelers getting stuck overseas due to a positive Covid test. 

The travel industry had been lobbying for months for the US to lift the requirement. The US was one of the last countries to still require the tests.

However, the CDC said it will review the decision in 90 days leaving the door open to reinstating the policy.

This is great news for travelers this summer because it means less expense and less hassle and erases the fear of being stuck in a foreign country. 

It also drops the urgent need for travel interruption insurance due to Covid-19 related sickness. 

But this change may also mean that sick people will be on your flight with you so what can you do. 

Top 5 Ways To Stay Healthy When You Fly This Summer

Here are some tips to stay healthy when you fly:

• Wear a mask - though just recommended on flights, I always wear an N95 or KN95 mask while on board the plane as added protection. I recently flew to Washington DC and approximately 25% of the passengers were still wearing masks. 
• Wipe down your seat and tray table - Bring along cleansing wipes, I prefer the alcohol FREE and orange smelling Clear Defense brand. Wipe your seat, tray table and seatbelt before you sit down. If you have a window seat, wipe the window area too. 
• Drink an immunity booster like Activate C
• Wash your hands often 
• Bring hand sanitizer
