Tourists from selected US states to be allowed into Costa Rica
Quoting from today's Tico Times, saying that sometime in September the following.
"USA Tourists will only be welcomed if they are residents of the following states: New York, New Jersey, New Hampshire, Maine, Vermont and Connecticut. Passengers must prove their residency in one of those states using their driver's license.
"We have included the license-plate requirement to minimize the likelihood that someone from a non-authorized state be allowed to enter," Segura said. "We are minimizing our epidemiological risk. ".
Tourists must obtain a negative PCR-RT test within 48 hours of their flight and purchase a travel-insurance plan that covers COVID-19. (This can be a pre-approved Costa Rican plan, or a foreign one that meets a series of requirements.).
In addition, all arriving passengers must complete an online health form. ".
End quote.
By "license-plate requirement" I think they mean driver's license.
These are the same requirements as for country / residents currently allowed.
COVID Vaccination Process
An excellent article from USA Today detailing the distribution and administration of the COVID vaccines in the United States once they're approved:

IMHO, the vaccination card discussed in the article is going to be critical, as I believe that card will ultimately be the proof you need to get on airplanes to fly domestically and internationally. Hopefully, with that vaccination card in hand, you won't have to get a COVID test and show your negative COVID test result when you land in a foreign country.
