COVID TESTING UPDATE - PUERTO VALLARTA
/If you are traveling anywhere internationally (including to Puerto Vallarta) in the near future, the CDC is requiring, as of January 26th, 2021, to have a negative Covid test. The change that was made on October 25th that affects when you have to get that test.
Fully vaccinated: The viral test must be conducted on a sample taken no more than 3 days before the flight’s departure from a foreign country if you show proof of being fully vaccinated against COVID-19.
Not fully vaccinated: The viral test must be conducted on a sample taken no more than 1 day before the flight’s departure from a foreign country if you do not show proof of being fully vaccinated against COVID-19.
The exception to this is if you have recently had Covid and can provide a copy of your positive test results and a letter from a medical professional stating you are cleared to travel. The US requires a NAAT, PCR, or Antigen Test (note Canada only allows PCR tests). All tests are harmless and done by nose/mouth swabs.
