Gov. Herbert cracks down on nonessential travel, implements declaration form for those entering the state

 With Easter weekend approaching Governor Herbert is calling on Utahns to stay in the region they live in.

During a press conference on Wednesday, the governor said essential travel includes grocery shopping, purchasing food, access to emergency services or travel to get gasoline or supplies needed to work from home or maintain a safe and clean home, business or vehicle. It also includes travel to work.

“You can take your child to daycare, or your pet to the veterinarian. You can also engage in safe, local recreational and outdoor activities, as long as you maintain proper social distancing,” the governor said

In addition the governor is issuing an order this week in advance of Easter weekend requiring all individuals who are 18 years or older to complete a COVID-19 travel declaration form when entering our state. This will also be required at the airport, and on roadways.
