We’ve received quite a few questions from fishermen after the Governor’s recent announcement that interstate travelers will no longer quarantine when entering Alaska as of June 5, 2020. See the update on Mandate 10 here.
HOWEVER, this does not relax the requirements in the State of Alaska Health Mandate 17, which says that fishermen entering Alaska from another state MUST quarantine for 14 days.
Tom Koloski from the State of Alaska Unified Command was clear on this during the update webinar on Mandates 10 and 17 with United Fishermen of Alaska (UFA). Please watch both UFA webinars and the Discovery Health webinar with National Fisherman before you head out for the season, whether you are traveling to the grounds or fish locally.
Take care of each other out there, and have a safe and successful summer.
