COVID-19 is spreading within communities across Virginia and across the United States. Because travel increases your chances of getting infected and spreading COVID-19, staying home is the best way to protect yourself and others from getting sick.
VDH advises all Virginians to stay home as much as possible, especially if your trip is not essential or if you are at higher risk of serious illness.
INTERNATIONAL TRAVEL
Due to the widespread ongoing transmission of COVID-19, the CDC is recommending that travelers avoid all unnecessary travel to all global destinations.
When possible, try to avoid public transportation, taxis, and ride shares.
If you do need to use public transportation, avoid close contact with others, wear a cloth mask, and use hand sanitizer.
Always wash your hands when you get to where you are going.
Virginia State Police will not be making random traffic stops on vehicles nor conducting checkpoints to determine if a driver is traveling for a permissible reason, as granted by EO53 and EO55.
If traveling out of state, you are encouraged to check, in advance, the other state for any travel restrictions in effect for that state.
WHAT IF I'M RETURNING FROM INTERNATIONAL TRAVEL?
As of August 13, 2020, Virginia does not have any quarantine requirements for people arriving in the Commonwealth from other U.S. or international locations. If you have traveled internationally and are returning home, consider taking these precautions:
Stay home as much as possible
Avoid being around people at higher risk for severe illness from COVID-19
Consider getting tested for COVID-19
