California, Oregon, Washington Issue Advisory Discouraging Travel Two Weeks Before Thanksgiving
The governors in California, Oregon and Washington issued a joint travel advisory on Friday in response to the rising numbers of coronavirus cases in their states.
The state leaders announced the joint advisory with just two weeks remaining until Thanksgiving and shortly after California became the second state to exceed 1 million infections since the start of the pandemic. The California Department of Public Health said the advisories were primarily intended to discourage "travel that is considered tourism or recreational in nature."
"If you do not need to travel, you shouldn't," Oregon Governor Kate Brown said in a news release. "This will be hard, especially with Thanksgiving around the corner. But the best way to keep your family safe is to stay close to home."
Those who do travel into one of the West Coast states from another part of the U.S. or from a country overseas are encouraged to quarantine for 14 days, according to the advisories. Meanwhile, residents of California, Oregon and Washington have been encouraged to stick close to home and refrain from interacting with people they do not live with to prevent further spread of the virus.
