One state and two countries have been added to the state’s COVID-19 travel quarantine list.
The Kansas Department of Health and Environment added Alaska, Bermuda and New Caledonia to its list Thursday. Unvaccinated residents need to quarantine if they meet the following criteria:
*Traveled between Sept. 23 and Oct. 7 to Grenada.
*Traveled on or after Oct. 7 to Alaska.
*Traveled on or after Oct. 7 to Bermuda and New Caledonia.
*Attended any out-of-state or in-state mass gatherings of 500 or more where individuals do not socially distance (6 feet) and wear a mask.
*Been on a cruise ship or river cruise on or after March 15, 2020.
The quarantine periods for unvaccinated or partially-vaccinated residents are seven days with a negative test or 10 days without testing.
Fully-vaccinated residents, meaning residents who are two weeks past their final vaccine dose, do not have to quarantine if they have remained asymptomatic since they traveled. People who had COVID-19 in the past also don’t have to quarantine — if they have test evidence of a prior infection, are within six months of their infection and have remained asymptomatic since they traveled.
