The CDC Suggests Being Tested Twice If You Travel

Description

The CDC says the safest way to celebrate winter holidays this year is at home. But if you do plan to travel, the CDC recommends getting tested twice. The testing would be done once before and once after, reports to Business Insider. The CDC says travelers should get tested for the virus one to three days before traveling. You should also get tested three to five days afterwards. The goal is to make sure both tests come back negative and the virus is not spread to those around you.
