PA Department of Health Amended Travel Order
Posted on December 03, 2020
On November 25, 2020, the Pennsylvania Department of Health amended its Order relating to travel. Prior to the amendment, all non-exempted individuals traveling into or returning to the Commonwealth from any location outside of the Commonwealth were required to obtain a negative Covid-19 test within 72 hours prior to entering the Commonwealth, or place themselves in quarantine for 14 days after entering the Commonwealth.
With the amendment, the Order now allows non-exempted individuals traveling into or returning to the Commonwealth, who failed to obtain a negative Covid-19 test within 72 hours prior to entering the Commonwealth, the ability to end the mandated quarantine early, by obtaining a negative Covid-19 test after entering the Commonwealth and during the 14-day quarantine period.
Additionally, with the amendment, individuals 11 years of age and under are now exempt from the mandates of the Order.
