That is kind of ambiguous because if the negative report was a test conducted within a calendar day, that is sufficient whether you had Covid or not. Looking for positive confirmation if a subsequent negative report after infection not within one calendar day window satisfies the “cleared for travel note from your Doctor” requirement as an alternate.

Thanks. It is the required “cleared for travel” certification you need to have that is the problem. It is more relevant if you required supervised care for your infection institutionally or otherwise. Just stayed in a hotel to get over it requires finding a Doctor - visitors may not know any - willing to provide such an attestation which may or may not satisfy arbitrary airline assessment of authenticity, wording, letterhead/seal, etc., especially in India where the airline staff tend to be inflexible bureaucrats sometimes. Given their judgment would be binary in this case with enormous consequences.

Seems like CDC is filled with Indian Immigrant Babus too writing such vague requirements.
