VCRC – COVID-19 FAQ

What am I required to do after I return from travel outside of the country?

I can’t imagine that when we are traveling that we will be isolated in a room. I also cannot tell you what to do when you are on your own time. I know that our families will want to spend time with us and this would be a mass gathering. With this in mind, the CDC considers this a High Risk Activity. At VCRC we will observe a 14 day quarantine from the office that starts on the day that you return to the country.

This is the guidance directly from the CDC with the direct link below:

Higher Risk Activities

Some types of travel and activities can put you at higher risk for exposure to COVID-19 (see list below).  If you participated in higher risk activities or think that you may have been exposed before or during your trip, take extra precautions (in addition the ones listed above) to protect others for 14 days after you arrive:

What activities are considered higher risk?

Here are examples of activities and situations that can increase your risk of exposure to COVID-19:

  • Being in an area that is experiencing high levels of COVID-19, including destinations with a Level 3 Travel Health Notice. You can check the Travel Health Notices for recommendations for places you have traveled, including foreign countries and U.S. territories.  You can also check states, counties, and cities to determine if these areas are experiencing high levels of COVID-19.
  • Going to a large social gathering like a wedding, funeral, or party.
  • Attending a mass gathering like a sporting event, concert, or parade.
  • Being in crowds – for example, in restaurants, bars, airports, bus and train stations, or movie theaters.
  • Traveling on a cruise ship or river boat.

If you know that you were exposed to someone with COVID-19, postpone further travel. Even without symptoms, you can spread COVID-19 to other people on your journey.
