Pennsylvania Requires Negative COVID-19 Tests To Travel

By Executive Order issued November 17, 2020, the Pennsylvania governor's administration is requiring that travelers entering Pennsylvania from other countries and states, as well as Pennsylvanians who are returning home from other countries or states after November 20th, have a negative COVID-19 test within 72-hours prior to entering the Commonwealth, or quarantine for 14-days upon entry into the state.

Travel to another state occurs any time a person crosses into another state via air travel, public transit, personal vehicle, ride-shares, or taxis, and interacts with individuals in the other state.

This new Order is an enforceable disease control measure authorized by the Disease Prevention and Control Law of Pennsylvania. Persons who fail to comply with the Order may be fined between $25.00 and $300.00 dollars.
