The purpose of this self-quarantine at the traveler’s destination is to reduce any potential spread of the COVID-19 virus for anyone who may have unknowingly been exposed to the virus or who was a primary or secondary contact with a known COVID case from the place of departure.
Public cooperation and compliance in following this advice is required to monitor potential exposures that have transferred to non-containment areas and to stop the spread of the virus in our communities if there is a case.
