A big change for the summer travel season. The CDC now recommending all travelers get a COVID test within 3 days of a domestic flight. The new guidelines come as cases creep up and masks come off. Eyewitness News with reactions - Tonight at 11 from ABC7.

The CDC recommends taking a COVID test after domestic travel"if your trip involved situations with greater risk of exposure such as being in crowded places while not wearing a well-fitting mask or respirator."

"I agree with that," said Rhea Shannon of North Hollywood."I've been doing that since the pandemic started. I had to travel even during while we're shut down, and I didn't want to infect anyone that I was going to see, and I didn't want, you know, to not know where I got it from. So I always do that."

"I really like that idea," she said."I used to be a school teacher so I work with the public, I work with students. I also have a senior mother and senior in-laws so I'm always healthy, I always wear my mask." Those travelers must have a negative coronavirus test within a day of travel or submit proof that they've recovered from COVID in the previous 90 days. Children younger than 2 do not need to test.

The airlines need to reinstate the mask mandate. 😕

Re: 'The CDC now recommending all travelers get a COVID test within 3 days of a domestic flight.' Covid test means the person did not have Covid during the test which means they can get covid anytime from then to the day of. Test should be taken the day of, not days before. 🤦‍♀️

Next ..you will have to get tested before you take a crap in your own house

and? where do you get your science? media is whoring out again

road trip!

Yeah, how about a big fat NO! Moved on from COVID a long time ago. If you have a brain, you should too.

Here we go.. they are starting it up again.

Are they gonna pay for it

ConwayShow Maybe we can get some Canadien truck drivers down here to let them know we’re not taking their shit anymore.

Don’t believe the lies from the media folks. I have multiple friends who are nurses and Doctors. Cases may be slightly up, but the hospitals are empty. This is basically a cold virus. Media is trying to fearmonger again just in time for the Primaries.

I don’t think that anyone is listening anymore. Get your vaccination people!

😬😬🙏🏻🙏🏻😳😳
