Travel Advisory Updated December 19, 2020
Governor Ned Lamont today announced that he has signed an executive order revising the guidelines for the travel advisory he enacted earlier this year in Connecticut amid the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic in order to streamline its operations and align with recently modified guidance on the virus from the U.S Center for Disease Control and Prevention.
Effective at 12:01 a.m. on Saturday, December 19, 2020, the revised Connecticut COVID-19 Travel Advisory will:
- Apply to all travelers – both foreign and domestic – entering Connecticut from any location, except for the neighboring states of New Jersey, New York, and Rhode Island; and
-
Require all affected travelers to complete the Connecticut Travel Health Form (available at ct.gov/travelform) and self-quarantine for a period of 10 days or until a negative COVID-19 test result.
There will be three exemptions from the requirement to self-quarantine:
-
Testing alternative exemption: Applicable to any affected traveler who has had a negative test for COVID-19 in the 72 hours prior to their arrival in Connecticut, or subsequent to their arrival in Connecticut, and had submitted such negative test result to the commissioner of the Department of Public Health. This can be either a PCR test or a rapid antigen test.
-
Essential worker exemption: Applicable to essential workers traveling for work-related purposes.
-
Tested positive for COVID-19 exemption: Applicable to an affected traveler who has tested positive for COVID-19 within 90 days prior to his or her arrival in Connecticut and has clinically recovered, or has not been symptomatic for a period of 10 days since symptom onset or such positive test if not symptomatic, and has submitted such test result to the commissioner of the Department of Public Health.

AHLA Urges Additional COVID Relief on Capitol Hill |
|
AHLA called on Congress to immediately implement additional long-term grant programs forindustries and workers that have been decimated by the COVID-19 pandemic, noting that thousands of mid- to large-sized businesses in the hospitality sector do not qualify for the Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) and have received no relief during the pandemic.
In a letter to the House Financial Services Committee, AHLA expressed gratitude for the Coronavirus Response and Relief Bill passed in December, but noted it was intended only to provide short-term relief, and that the failed Main Street Lending Project has provided no relief for the hotel industry. AHLA looks forward to working with Congress and the new Administration on a longer-term stimulus package that will ensure our industry survives the pandemic and is well-positioned to help lead the economic recovery.
