Coronavirus in California - Travel Information
With one of the nation’s highest vaccination rates and lowest case rates, California is open to welcome visitors.
Proof of vaccination or a recent negative test is required to attend large indoor events (over 1,000 people). Operators of large outdoor events (over 10,000 people) are encouraged to enact similar vaccination and testing requirements. Attendees should check guidelines with event operators when buying tickets or making reservations.
For more guidance, here is a collection of California’s local and regional tourism offices.
Traveling internationally?
When traveling to the United States, visitors are required to show a WHO-approved negative COVID-19 test or documentation of recovery from COVID-19. The timing of this test will depend on vaccination status and age. Please visit the CDC’s International Travel page for the latest entry requirements, and take this quick travel assessment to find out what is needed to travel to the U.S. by air.
