The State Department is warning Americans about traveling outside the U.S.
On Tuesday, the department advised people to strongly reconsider travel as new coronavirus variants turned up in the Caribbean and Latin America. Officials also reminded people new testing requirements now in place can make it a lot harder to get back into the U.S. All air travelers, regardless of citizenship, can't get on U.S.-bound planes unless they present proof of a negative COVID-19 test taken within 72 hours of travel or show proof they've recently recovered from the virus.
