Outbreak Health Order 08

Alaska has issued new Health Orders to reduce the spread of COVID-19. Beginning 11/21, the following rules apply when traveling (or returning) to communities off the Road System or Alaska Marine Highway System (AMHS):

Travelers infected with COVID-19 must not travel until cleared from isolation by a medical professional.
Travelers who have been on the Road System or AMHS for more than 72 hours must test within 72 hours of travel and should not travel until negative results are received. If travel cannot be delayed until test results are available, travelers must follow strict social distancing until they receive negative results.
Travelers who have been on the Road System or AMHS for 72 hours or fewer may return without testing before travel, but should test 5 days after arrival and follow strict social distancing until negative results are received, or follow strict social distancing for 14 days if no test is taken.

“Road System” is defined as any community connected by a road to the Seward, Parks, Klondike, Richardson, Sterling, Glenn, Haines, or Top of the World Highways.

Protect Yourself and Others

Together we can slow the spread of COVID-19 and keep our communities safe.

Practice Good Hygiene

Wash your hands for at least 20 seconds, practice good hygiene, and cover any cough or sneeze. Don't touch your face with unwashed hands.

Practice Social Distancing

When you have to leave home, keep a minimum of six feet away from others at all times.

Wear a Mask

The state does not require the use of masks by the public, however health and science experts recommended that you wear a mask in public wherever social distancing is challenging.

Get Tested If You Are Sick

If you are experiencing COVID-19 symptoms, isolate yourself from others and call a provider to get tested. If you require medical attention, call your doctor before going in.
