The United States of America is still feeling the effects of the ongoing global COVID-19 pandemic.
With the holiday season upon us, it may be necessary to take a coronavirus test in order to see loved ones in-person. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommended Americans avoid traveling during Thanksgiving this year in an effort to prevent the spread of COVID-19.
If you are traveling, or plan to host guests, it would be wise to make sure you don't have coronavirus before further spreading the virus to others.
