I have not flown at all since the pandemic began and this will be my first flight in almost a year, but I have to fly as it’s an emergency, otherwise I wouldn’t fly.

Hopefully all goes well, but I would like to be prepared for the worst. I can’t find much info though...
It takes a couple days from exposure to testing positive, so if you test negative pre-travel and positive post-travel, it's not because of the time you spent in the airport
