As of January 24, 2023, are there any COVID-19 testing requirements for US citizens flying back to the US from abroad? The CDC page on the topic is very confusing with lots of clauses for travel from certain places (China) and non-US citizens, and doesn't state clearly whether US citizens not affected by those clauses need test results to board.

Aside from just a yes/no answer, I'd like a link to an official source or reputable third party stating it clearly.

The CDC page states :

ALL TRAVELERS

This page is for all international travelers including U.S. citizens, U.S. nationals, U.S. lawful permanent residents, immigrants, and non-U.S. citizens who are not U.S. immigrants.

All the restrictions, except the COVID Vaccination requirement, are to be applied to everyone


As of 2023-01-24, the requirements are :

ALL travelers 2 years and older: If you are flying to the U.S. from China, Hong Kong, or Macau, or have been in these areas in the past 10 days and are flying from certain airports, you are required to show a negative COVID-19 test result or documentation of recovery from COVID-19 before you board your flight to the U.S.

There are no in force testing requirements for US Citizens/LPR
