Some domestic travel restrictions are being advised in popular parts of the west that are likely destinations during Spring Break. The Moab Regional Hospital sent a recommendation yesterday to Gov. Gary Herbert asking the governor to close all non-essential businesses in Moab for two weeks because of the coronavirus outbreak. They wrote that Moab could see up to 6,000 visitors next weekend, based on current hotel bookings. Meanwhile, the county public health director in Larimer County, Colorado has recommended that citizens avoid all nonessential travel, and highly discouraged travel in and out of the community. Rocky Mountain National Park is located within Larimer County. The Department of Defense officials announced restrictions on domestic travel yesterday for service members, Defense Department employees and family members in response to the new coronavirus, or COVID-19. Beyond such isolated cases, Dr. Anthony Fauci, the director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, said Sunday that he doesn’t think the U.S. will need to implement domestic travel restrictions in “the immediate future” due to the coronavirus outbreak.
