California issues Travel Advisory as COVID-19 rises Friday November 13 2020.

California is partnershing with Oregon and Washington State to advise citizens to not travel unless it is essential.

On November 13 2020, California Governor Newsom explained the urgency, ” California just surpassed a sobering threshold – one million COVID-19 cases – with no signs of the virus slowing down.”

The incidence of COVID-19 is increasing in many states and countries.
Persons arriving in California from other states or Californians returning from other states or countries could increase the risk of COVID-19 spread.
In addition, travel itself can be a risk for exposure to COVID-19, particularly travel through shared conveyance such as air, bus or rail travel.
