Guidance on traveling and travel restrictions varies across the United States as the country faces new surges in COVID-19 cases ahead of Thanksgiving travel.

While all of the Northeast and most of the mid-Atlantic states have implemented statewide travel restrictions, more than half the states, including two of the biggest, Texas and Florida, have no such restrictions.
California, Oregon and Washington introduced tough travel restrictions in November, requiring all out-of-state visitors and returning residents to self-quarantine for two weeks on arrival.
