Required covid-19 testing information

As of mid-June 2022, air passengers entering the U.S. are NO LONGER required to show proof of a negative covid-19 test before boarding. Please do make sure to check with your airline, and with your destination country if not the U.S., to make sure you understand the testing requirements for your own particular flight.

Below is some information on how to get a test should you want or need to get one while you're here!
