We've put together a quick guide of what you need to do and be aware of when preparing to travel to the US.

It's the law that anyone travelling to the US by plane from a foreign country must confirm (attest to) either a negative COVID-19 test result, or clearance for travel after recovery from COVID-19. This applies to everyone over two years of age. You can attest on behalf of someone else travelling with you if they're unable to do so themselves, or as the parent or legal guardian of children under 17.
