Travel Restrictions in the United States

Travel is the traveling of individuals between very far distant geographical areas. Travel can generally be done by automobile, bicycle, foot, car, plane, train, bus or other mode, with or without personal luggage, and could be either one way travel or round trip travel. Travel dates may range from a few hours to a few weeks or even months. Some types of travel include commercial airline travel, motor coach travel, van travel, ferry travel, trucking or caravan travel, and room accommodations aboard a cruise ship. A person may choose to travel depending on his/her needs, preferences, desires or motives, among others.

Quarantine: Quarantine is a condition in which a traveler is prevented from coming into contact with a particular contagious agent. People having no physical contact with such agent are said to be free from “contagious disease.” Quarantines can either be voluntary or involuntary. The former occurs when travelers are quarantined in order to protect them from serious diseases like measles or polio. The latter happens when travelers are quarantined for health reasons such as to avoid detection of cancer or to prevent the spread of communicable diseases.

Persons having no travel or coming into close contact with persons having contagious diseases, are restricted from travelling in the United States. There are several medical requirements that are required while arriving in the United States. These are mandatory requirements for passengers who will be travelling under the provisions of the airlines. Airlines and hospitals in the United States offer different kinds of assistance to passengers having difficulty in fulfilling their travel and related requirements. They may assist them in providing the necessary travel documents or information needed for processing visa applications.
