TRAVELERS’ INFORMATION
The CDC has created the COVID-19 Travel Planner to help travelers search for COVID-19 restrictions and guidance in the state, local, territorial and tribal communities they plan to visit.
The CDC estimates that roughly 15 percent of site visitors are searching for guidance in Florida. The goal of the online tool is to provide travelers with information to make informed decisions, protect themselves, and reduce transmission before, during, and after they travel.
