IR-1 Entry Quarantine

[aceegreene 34]

Hello everyone,

 

I have to enter the USA as my IR-1 visa is about to expire soon. However, I need to come back to my home country ASAP to tend to an ailing parent who’s alone

here.
 

For that purpose, is it possible to make an entry into USA and fly out within a few days? Or is self-quarantine for two weeks mandatory? Ideally, I would’ve liked to quarantined myself as per the recommendations. But I need to get back home. 
 

I’ll be entering either Chicago or DC. 
 

Your input will be appreciated as always. Thank you in advance.

No mandatory quarantine on arrival. But there is a health screening process at the airports and anyone who arrives with symptoms of COVID-19  can and will be quarantined. I’ve heard anecdotal reports that the screening is not very thorough but we cannot assume that will be the case at every arrival airport on every day.

Thank you for the clarification!
