Traveling to the US from another country (including for US citizens). *s are added by me
People who have recovered from COVID-19 can continue to test positive for up to 3 months after their infection. ******CDC does not recommend retesting within 3 months after a person with COVID-19 first developed symptoms of COVID-19***** (or the date their sample was taken for their first positive viral diagnostic test if their infection was asymptomatic).
If you have had a positive viral test on a sample taken during the past 90 days, and you have met the criteria to travel, you may travel instead with your positive viral test results and a signed letter from a licensed healthcare provider or a public health official that states you have been cleared for travel according to CDC’s travel guidance. The positive test result and letter together are referred to as “documentation of recovery.”

CDC guidance on ending isolation
If an individual has access to a test and wants to test, *******the best approach is to use an antigen test1 towards the end of the 5-day isolation period******. If your test result is positive, you should continue to isolate until day 10. If your test result is positive, you can also choose to test daily and if your test result is negative, you can end isolation, but continue to wear a well-fitting mask around others at home and in public until day 10. Follow additional recommendations for masking and avoiding travel as described above.
