Gig Harbor Governor Issues Travel Advisory For Washington State

Press release from the City of Gig Harbor:

November 13, 2020

Inslee joined California Governor Gavin Newsom and Oregon Governor Kate Brown in urging visitors entering their states or returning home from travel outside these states to self-quarantine to slow the spread of the virus.

“COVID-19 cases have doubled in Washington over the past two weeks. This puts our state in as dangerous a position today as we were in March,” Inslee said. “Limiting and reducing travel is one way to reduce further spread of the disease. I am happy to partner with California and Oregon in this effort to help protect lives up and down the West Coast.”

In addition to urging individuals arriving from other states or countries to self-quarantine for 14 days after arrival, the travel advisory recommends individuals limit their interactions to their immediate household. The advisories define essential travel as travel for work and study, critical infrastructure support, economic services and supply chains, health, immediate medical care, and safety and security.
