- Updated travel guidance:
- Domestic travel within the U.S. no longer requires quarantine upon return to NH (regardless of COVID-19 vaccination status). Even though a person may not be required to quarantine after travel, we recommend they receive testing for asymptomatic SARS-CoV-2 infection 3-5 days after travel per CDC guidance (applies for both domestic and international travel).
- People who travel internationally or on a cruise ship are still required to quarantine upon arrival to NH, unless diagnosed with SARS-CoV-2 infection in the prior 90 days or fully vaccinated against COVID-19.
- Persons required to quarantine after international travel or travel on a cruise ship can choose to end quarantine after 7 days if
- The person is asymptomatic, and
- Has a negative SARS-CoV-2 PCR-based test performed on a respiratory specimen that is collected on days 6-7 of quarantine.
- CDC guidance for fully vaccinated persons:
- A person is considered “fully vaccinated” against COVID-19 when they are 14 days or more after receipt of their second dose of an mRNA vaccine (Pfizer or Moderna), or 14 days or more after receipt of the single-dose Janssen (Johnson & Johnson) vaccine.
- Fully vaccinated persons should continue to wear well-fitted masks and practice physical distancing (maintain at least 6 feet of separation from others) when in public locations, avoid crowds and larger group/social gatherings, and avoid non-essential travel. All persons, including those fully vaccinated, should watch for symptoms of COVID-19, and isolate and be clinically evaluated for SARS-CoV-2 testing for any new consistent symptoms (even mild cold symptoms).
- Fully vaccinated people can visit with:
- Other fully vaccinated people indoors without wearing masks or physical distancing
- Unvaccinated people from a single household who are at low risk for severe COVID-19 indoors without wearing masks or physical distancing, although people can still choose to implement these measures for greater protection of the unvaccinated person(s), if desired
- Fully vaccinated people should continue to wear masks, physically distance, and practice other prevention measures when visiting:
- Unvaccinated people who are at increased risk for severe COVID-19
- People who live with unvaccinated household members that are at an increased risk for severe COVID-19, even if those persons are not immediately present in the home
- Unvaccinated people from multiple households
- Fully vaccinated persons do not need to quarantine after an unprotected exposure to COVID-19 or higher risk international travel if the person remains asymptomatic. However, they should still be tested for asymptomatic SARS-CoV-2 infection 3-5 days after travel per CDC recommendations.
