According to the AP, travelers can either take a rapid test, which looks for viral proteins, also known as antigens, or a test that detects the genetic material of the virus. The U.S. also requires proof of the negative result from a medical laboratory, the report adds.
Domestic and international travelers entering Florida do not have to self-quarantine upon entering the state, according to the CDC.
