So excited. I will be fully vaccinated by my March 29th trip so I was going to be okay but just knowing we no longer need to at all makes me happy for all the other trips I have planned!

OnMarch 19th, it becomes a “guideline” not a “requirement “ in CT.

We're in MA...if only, lol. Right now only travelers from Hawaii, Washington, Oregon, Missouri, and Puerto Rico are exempt from our mandatory quarantine/testing rules due to being low risk States. I don't see Florida joining the list anytime soon... (We're going in mid-April.). And it'll be a long time before we can get the vaccine as part of the general population....

We extended our trip one day to come back April 1st! Glad to see this madness ending.

I am thinking that the lifting of the required quarantine and testing post-trip means also no need to test within 72 hours of leaving the destination, right? I can't seem to find anywhere that specifically addresses this. But then again, it's moot if no quarantine & test upon arrival back to NY. Is that what everyone else is thinking?

Nevermind - someone posted this on the Transportation board and it makes perfect sense:

You only had to test if you wanted to shorten the length of your quarantine. If there is no quarantine there shouldn't be a need to get tested.

Sorry for cluttering the thread with asking and answering my own question!

I am actually REALLY glad you did this, I was just searching for this exact information. I'm planning a trip for May and both my husband and I will have vaccines but our 7 year old son will not and I was wondering if I would still have to have him tested. This solves that question since the quarantine is lifted. So thank you for answering your own question!

Here's hoping that MA joins the no-QT club!
