The travel advisory in New Jersey is no longer in effect, and all travelers are encouraged to follow the CDC's travel recommendations. Union County has launched Recycle Coach, a free application designed to make recycling and solid waste information more accessible to county residents and to promote the principles of “reduce, reuse and recycle”. Governor Phil Murphy has announced that New Jersey will no longer require people to return to the state or be quarantined due to the coronavirus pandemic. In addition to executive orders, states have issued recommendations, notices, and requests related to interstate travel in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. For example, Governor Mike DeWine of Ohio asked travelers from states with positive rates of 15% or more to quarantine for 14 days upon entering Ohio.
Governor Jay Inslee and Governor Gavin Newsom both issued a notice asking travelers to quarantine for 14 days after arriving in their respective states. If you must travel within the country, visit the CDC website for more information about domestic travel during the COVID-19 pandemic. If you plan to travel during the pandemic, be sure to take the necessary precautions to ensure your safety and that of those around you. It is also important to research your destination at both the state and local levels for the latest information. People who are fully vaccinated with an FDA-authorized vaccine or have clinically recovered from COVID-19 in the past three months traveling within the United States do not need to be tested for COVID-19 before or after traveling to New Jersey and do not need to be tested for COVID-19 quarantine upon their return.
Those coming from abroad must show a negative COVID-19 test taken within three days of their departure or “virus recovery test” within the past 90 days, according to federal regulations. If you must travel abroad, visit the CDC website for information on international travel during the COVID-19 pandemic. Given the increased risk of spreading COVID-19 for both out-of-state residents and visitors to New Jersey, unvaccinated people are strongly discouraged from taking non-essential interstate travel at this time. For travelers who are specifically concerned about canceling for a reason related to COVID-19, Cancellation for Any Reason (CFAR) coverage offers travelers the most flexibility.
