US lifts covid test requirements for international travel!

US lifts Covid test requirements for travel

Really

Long overdue!!

Hopefully the BVI will follow soon.

We leave next Friday and my 16 yr. old is recovering from COVID. Man, I wish the BVI would waive testing for traveling down like the USVI!

We fly from Bvi to us tomorrow do we still need to test today

Yes, no test becomes effective 12:01 AM June 12

Hello hive mind! Is there somewhere in Charlotte Amelia we can get tested on a Saturday morning (aka today)? Does the airport offer tests?

Our flight is today. Tomorrow would have been much simpler.

Where are you going? No test required from STT back to US mainland.

We are headed to the mainland (United Airlines, to Houston, 1:20pm flight).

If we had only stayed on St Thomas, no covid test would be required, but we were in the BVI until yesterday afternoon. I believe that counts as international travel.

We took a 15-minute covid test in front of the Roadtown Native Sons staff at 2:15pm yesterday in order to get on the ferry to Charlotte Amelie. But no way of proving that to the airline staff (if that would be necessary).

My partner thinks we are 97% fine, I think we're 50/50 going to be turned away today. Good news is, tomorrow the rules change, and there are worse places to be stuck! Bad news is, this might be an expensive mistake (another night hotel, and booking a new flight.)

If flying out of STT back to US Mainland, NO testing has been required for quite some time.

The fact that one travelled to STT from BVI prior to the flight is irrelevant.

Phew!!! Thank you, I was apparently worrying over nothing.
