I've tried using your product, but it seems USA is not represented in the product, for example I tried selecting going from New York to Hawaii but it seems that the individual states aren't represented. Will this be addressed in the future? Other that that, it seems very useful! Thanks.

Hey PH,
I'm stoked to have worked on this exhaustive tracker resource and really hope the tool comes in handy for all travelers out there.
Amidst the sweeping measures, imposing lockdowns, and sealed borders introduced in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, keeping a tab on the shifting travel restrictions has been quite cumbersome. To fix this problem, Headout created a one-stop COVID Travel Restrictions Tracker that tracks the constantly evolving travel restrictions around the globe and provides up-to-date information on a real-time basis. All you need to do is enter where you are traveling from and to and rest easy.
Looking forward to answering all your questions and starting a fruitful discussion here. Feedback as always is more than welcome. 🙏🏽

I'm hoping to use this, but unfortunately, there's a full-page critical error @parag_cl. I then get the default Next.js error screen "Unexpected critical error has occurred."
After popping open the JS console it appears the issue is "TypeError: Cannot set property 'innerHTML' of null"
@dawsonbotsford Sorry, for the delayed response. Are you still having this issue? If yes, could you please share the URL and the screenshot of the page?
@dawsonbotsford @jhnsml Unfortunately, I have a different full page critical error this time. It's a JSON object error message dumped to the frontend now.
{
"errorMessage": "2021-01-05T16:18:43.157Z 13d275a7-6994-414d-b767-4f69143f186b Task timed out after 10.01 seconds"
}
At https://www.headout.com/covid-tr... in Brave. Did not happen in Chrome, so perhaps there are critical ads and trackers that will lead to an error? Both browsers run Chromium under the hood so the fact they have different behavior is very unusual.
EDIT: My second time trying the site in Brave worked smooth.
It’s been so frustrating to try and plan travel in these times because information on travel restrictions, rules and regulations are constantly changing and are even contradictory across resources! This is such a great tool and just what I needed :)
One question though, how do you scrub the mountains of information from so many different sources and publish the most accurate, up to date info?
@rp09 Thanks Ritansha. While we have put some systems in place to identify primary sources and stay on top of the changes, we havent found any silver bullets so far. Given all the confusion amid constantly changing information we feel the effort being put in maintaining this information is worth it as the world starts travelling again.
@shreya_d Glad you found it useful. Biggest challenge has been the rate at which the rules have been changing in the last 2 months. Most countries are maintaining the official websites with the latest rules really well. For majority of these websites we were able to put systems in place to get notified every time a change happens.
Ahh! You guys saved a lot of googl searches and unnecessary logins at various places to check such services.
