Alaska Governor Relaxes In-State Travel Restrictions and
​Issues New Health Mandate for Commercial Fishing Boats

April 23, 2020

The governor of Alaska. Mike Dunleavy, downgraded restrictions on travel within the state on Thursday, April 23, 2020, and raised a new health mandate to fight the Coronavirus pandemic aimed at the commercial fishing industry.
 
Dunleavy softened the rules first set in Health Mandate 12, which restricted non-essential travel within the state. Alaskan residents are now allowed to travel within the state for recreation and outdoor entertainment.
 
Alaska Department of Health and Social Services commissioner, Adam Crum, said Alaskans can be outdoors on day trips, as long as there are no more than20 people in a group.
The warning to Alaskans, to stay away from recreation companions who do not live in the same household is still in effect.
"Unfortunately, because of this pandemic, we may not receive many visitors to the state this year. This could have a positive side in the sense that Alaskans will own Alaska this year, and this could be the opportunity to see parts of our State that you have never experienced before.  We want you to go camping, to go visit our state," the governor said.
 
Gyms and fitness classes will also be able to perform some outdoor activities and classes, Dunleavy confirmed.  Guidelines for day care centers and camps will be reported in the coming days.
Currently the businesses that are in "Phase 2" of the governor's plan to reopen Alaska will depend on how the reopening of the economy is going, Dunleavy said. 
 
"We can't "stay home" indefinitely, here is no precedent in history for an economy ... just saying we're going to turn it off, put it in a coma, when? And no one answers that question. When what? When no one else gets infected? When the numbers are at certain level? We know there will be infections, there will be more cases. We will accept advice, but we're going to let metrics and science guide our decisions," the state representative confirmed.
 
Regarding fishing boats, they may also operate at 25% of their authorized capacity or with members of a single household.
 
Health Mandate 17 requests that independent fishing captains take various precautions on their ships and with their crews, members traveling outside Alaska must wear facemasks on aircraft and be quarantined for14 days when returning to the state.
