Much like with visas; you usually don't apply for one if not necessary | |
| Jan 25, 2021 at 13:46 | comment | added | Hilmar | @Crazydre: many states/counties offer free testing. Even if you have to pay it's typically not that expensive. If you have money to travel, you have money to test. 400,000+ people already have died in the US alone. Everyone doing their part and a little more will help save many, many lives in the coming months | |

Going slightly beyond the bare minimum is prudent for anybody who must travel but wants to protect themself and the communities they will travel to. | |

| Jan 24, 2021 at 20:31 | comment | added | Crazydre | @Willeke Why should OP unnecessarily chuff exorbitant amounts of cash down the toilet? We have no idea about their financial status. As for me, any country requiring a negative test (especially if not accepting Antigen), I regard as de facto closed for me due to the costs | |
