The prohibition on travel between communities is designed so that people must use the closest available services to fulfill critical personal needs. Common sense applies – normal usage of location names and understanding of geographic separation applies when asking about community boundaries. For instance, Homer, Anchor Point, and Seldovia are all separate communities. You may only travel to another community for critical personal needs if you cannot meet those needs in your community. And if you can get it delivered, choose that option instead.
Outdoor activity near your home is encouraged for your health and well-being. Alaskans are encouraged to recreate as close to home as possible, but if you must travel out of your community for recreation you are expected to take precautions, including: bring your own cleaning supplies and hand sanitizer; maintain social distancing of six feet or more from any non-household member; take the most direct routes and go straight to trailheads, parking lots, cabin or camping site; and avoiding contact with non-household members. When engaging in outdoor recreation, you must comply with social distancing requirements, including maintaining at least six feet distance from people who do not live in your immediate household.
Social distancing requirements are in effect on paths, trails, sidewalks, riverbanks, beaches, parks, and anyplace outside on private or public property where people might gather. Crowds of 10 people or more are prohibited, even if you are at an outdoor location. You are not prohibited from driving to recreation sites, but you must stay six feet away from non-household members, and are requested to stay in your community.
