Covid Testing MiamiCOVID-19 TestingDocumentation of Recovery Letter
With the COVID-19 pandemic affecting all parts of the world and air travel increasing the chance of contracting COVID-19, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) just published new rules for travelers returning to the United States. In addition to the revised entry requirements for the United States, a number of foreign countries will also allow travelers to enter with proof that they’ve recovered from the coronavirus instead of a negative COVID-19 test result.
The most important change for international travelers to know about is that as of December 2, 2021, the CDC requires all passengers (ages 2 and up) returning to the US to present a negative COVID PCR or negative Antigen test which has been done within one day of travel or to show documentation of having recovered from COVID-19 in the past 90 days.
I you have recently been infected with COVID-19 and need to travel, fortunately, the CDC now allows recovered COVID-19 patients to enter the US under the following conditions:
At the same time, some countries, including Canada and many EU Countries, will accept a recent Positive COVID-19 PCR test as proof of COVID-19 recovery.
Consider thoroughly reading your destination’s COVID-19 entry requirements (the US Department of State maintains a searchable list of countries with specific information on entry requirements), as well as what will be required of you when you return home.
The Document of Recovery from COVID (also known as the “Recovery Certificate”) is a document signed by a licensed healthcare provider that allows someone who has recently recovered from COVID-19 (but still has a positive COVID test) to enter the United States, Canada, or the European Union if they have self-isolated for an adequate period of time.
Having the recovery documentation from COVID-19 will allow travelers to return or fly to their destination even if their COVID-19 test is positive.
One of the problems with recent COVID-19 infections is that a patient may continue to test positive for weeks or even months after the infection has cleared up from the body. A positive COVID-19 test in a patient who has recovered from COVID-19 and who no longer has any symptoms will most likely indicate that the test is detecting non-infectious virus fragments and the patient is no longer infectious.
However, because many countries across the globe now require a negative COVID-19 PCR or a negative antigen test for all returning travelers, anyone who has recently recovered from a COVID-19 infection and wishes to fly to the United States, Canada or the EU Countries might face difficulties with presenting a negative viral COVID-19 test.
A traveler must meet 6 requirements to show Documentation of Recovery from COVID.
Your primary care physician, an urgent care clinic, or one of the telemedicine-based healthcare providers offering proof-of-recovery services are all good options for obtaining the Document of Recovery.
