MSM reporting this morning that the CDC is readying to change the testing window for international air arrivals to 24 hours. Suggest that everyone with travel plans keep an eye on this.
Get those eMed.com tests on order!

Question about those: we enrolled on line and they sent us the kits. Is there something else we need to do before we leave? We're booked at a clinic here for rapid tests, so these are for returning from BVI in January. I would load the Navica app on your phones. Some people have reported issues accessing from here. I had no problem with my US phone but others say they have.

MIDiver, mind sharing the source for that? What is MSM? Our friends are still on the boat in the BVI. I'd like to send the article to them. Hasn't been formally announced yet but will probably be this week.

Here is an article that describes the potential change to testing requirements. Expect to see it as a formal requirement this week.

We're booked at a clinic here for rapid tests, so these are for returning from BVI in January. Download the app before leaving home. We had one in our party that didn't, and he had significant trouble downloading the app on WiFi at scrub. None of the rest of our party of 7 had ANY issue connecting, completing the tests, or receiving our results.

They asked Fauci at a press conference this afternoon. The questioner had heard they were discussing a 24 hr test before departure from a foreign country, testing within 3 days of arrival in US and a 7 day quarantine regardless of vaccination status. That would kill all foreign travel and I think would be Terrible overkill. Fauci did not commit to any decisions. They said Biden will talk about it tomorrow.
I’d bet the new testing regime goes into effect. The 7 day quarantine on arrival is totally Australia like move and will ruin foreign travel. So done with this.

I don't think it was a WiFi issue, as none of the rest of us had any problem *using* the app, including it's video features. He had trouble downloading the app and making it work from there. Those of us who had downloaded the app prior to leaving home had no problems completing the testing

Repeat question but wanting most current requirements. We are flying from the states to St Thomas on the 5th. I assume the 5 day testing is still valid to enter St Thomas? Taking the ferry to Road Town, a 48 hour requirement on testing for fully vaticinated people is now required? Returning to St Thomas by ferry, a 2 day testis now needed or is the 5 day requirement still accepted? Just wanting to be sure I have the most current requitements as to the time frame necessary for all 3 sets of travel.
- the 5 day testing is still valid to enter St Thomas - so far this is correct, but don't be surprised if it changes next week when USVI does it's weekly update - Taking the ferry to Road Town, a 48 hour requirement - 5 days is required, but if you can bring a 2 day old test it eliminates the need to test at the ferry dock - Returning to St Thomas by ferry - 5 days so far but I'd anticipate changes
