The Governor announced yesterday new plans starting Friday, June 5 for travelers coming to Alaska.Right now travelers are required to do a 14 day quarantine.
The new plan includes visitors or Alaskans coming home. This does not include essential workers - health care, mining, fisheries. Those companies bringing in workers must have their own plans in place. These are the Guidelines for developing industry plans. And here's the website with information on Industry Plans more generally. I don't see any actual plans posted. It would be good to have them posted so people can know exactly what steps they will take to monitor quarantines, social distancing, etc. Enforcement is not going to be easy.
The new rules for individual travelers include:
- Before coming to Alaska passengers are asked to take test within 72 hours before boarding the plane and bring the results with them to the airport.
- These will be checked before boarding the plane. People who tested positive won't be allowed to travel.
- People will fill out forms on the plane - like agricultural forms when going to Hawaii.
- Travelers will be met at the airport when they land and their paperwork will be checked.
- If people lost their paperwork on the plane, they can be tested at the airport. They must stay at the airport until the results are back. This could take a while.
- Met here, people will take your papers and test results.
- If someone tests positive officials will work with them to develop - isolation or quarantine.
- If negative, no problem.
Rural communities without good health care - can choose to limit non-essential travel.
The details will be on the State Website by Monday/Tuesday (June 1 or 2)
You can see the whole press conference here. (Travel info starts around 8:30)
The governor acknowledged that new cases will go up (as they have the last couple of days) as the State opens things up, but said the key is to monitor the situation and take action quickly if necessary.
