According to USA Today, among others:

US to require negative COVID-19 test for travelers boarding international flights to US, report says

Canada just implemented these measures last week. Some folks are being denied boarding back to Canada because they didn't have proof of a negative covid test.

Aruba locations for travel testing are on page 13

I see it’s also embedded in the Aruba Travel information

Turn out the lights. The Party’s over! The biggest question is does Aruba have the infrastructure to test and provide results in 72 hours? As one person wrote, only a percentage of arrivals need to test at the airport, but 100% need to test prior to departure.

Do they consider the carribean international? The airlines don't.

Airlines and Aruba need to collaborate on a system to make this happen or its a disaster for Aruba. Given the numbers of people who leave on Saturday or Sunday if an easy system to test isn't implemented mass cancellations of vacations will happen. And its starting January 26th? Wow. Thanks for the heads up CDC.

Of course it’s international. That’s why we go thru US Customs whether it be at the departure point or back in the states upon arrival.

This does suck and the fact the more and more news reports are talking about fast spreading vaccine resistant variants probably means this will last for awhile .

Vaccine resistant? Fast spreading yes, but not resistant.

“Could be”, “worry about future mutations”. If you read this article it is clear that there is no mutation that is resistent to the vaccin at this moment.

Actually there is no vaccine that has any proven effect on the virus . Hence the masks , social distancing and quarantine even after being vaccinated . Hopefully we will have more information in the coming months .

There is, and countries are busy vaccinating people. The masks, social distancing and quarantine are still there because not everybody is vaccinated yet. If you are vaccinated, you can still carry the virus and infect other people, but you don’t get seriously ill yourself. Until everybody is vaccinated these rules stay in order. What you are saying here is simple untrue.

Sorry to say this but if you read what you just wrote you are contradicting yourself . I will paste your words ...you can still carry the virus and infect other people, but you don’t get seriously ill yourself. With a vaccine that is in your words ... you can still carry the virus and infect other people, but you don’t get seriously ill yourself . Then I repeat this covid will be around for a lot longer .

DD did not contradict herself. The general consensus is exactly what she stated. You can still get sick but not as bad if you’ve been vaccinated along with being able to spread it to someone else. This is no different than getting a flu shot, get the flu and spread it. Again, the sickness from the flu is not as bad if one wasn’t vaccinated.
