No proof of negative pre-departure COVID-19 test results or recovery certificate

Unvaccinated travelers are recommended to quarantine for 5 days after arrival in the United States. Travelers are required to take a COVID-19 test 3-5 days after arriving in the USA. Even if the test is negative, it is recommended that travelers complete the 5-day quarantine.
This recommendation does not apply to:
