Before You Leave
Proof of negative pre-departure COVID-19 test results or recovery certificate is not required
Travelers don’t need a negative COVID-19 test result or recovery certificate before traveling to Puerto Rico.
The CDC still recommends travelers get tested with a COVID-19 viral test maximum of 3 days before departure and not travel if travelers are sick.
Mandatory travel attestation form
Travelers who are not United States citizens, nationals, permanent residents or an immigrant (“Covered Individuals”); must complete a travel attestation form before arrival. This form will be provided by the airline.
Airlines may allow travelers to complete their attestation electronically during check-in or via partner apps such as VeriFLY. In this case, it is not necessary to print the form, but travelers may do so as a precaution.
This requirement doesn’t apply to the following travelers:
- Travelers under the age of 2.
On Arrival
Recommended quarantine for unvaccinated travelers
Unvaccinated travelers are recommended to quarantine for 5 days after arrival in the United States. Travelers are recommended to take a COVID-19 test 3-5 days after arriving in United States. Even if the test is negative, it is recommended that travelers complete the 5-day quarantine.
This quarantine recommendation doesn’t apply to the following travelers:
- Travelers under the age of 18;
- Travelers who considered fully vaccinated: 2 weeks after their second dose in a 2-dose series, such as the Pfizer or Moderna vaccines, or 2 weeks after a single-dose vaccine, such as Johnson & Johnson’s Janssen vaccine.
- Travelers who have recovered from COVID-19. These travelers must show proof of a positive viral test from the preceding 90 days and a letter from their healthcare provider or public health official stating travelers cleared to end isolation.
Health screening may be required on arrival
Travelers who have been in selected countries in the 21 days before arrival in United States can enter through one of the following designated airports: New York (JFK), Newark (EWR), Atlanta (ATL), Chicago (ORD), or Washington (IAD) for enhanced screening.
The concerned authorities will apply new layers of screening at these 5 United States airports in response to the Ebola outbreak in Uganda.

Masks are recommended in certain settings
