The order requires every individual 18 years of age or older who enters Utah, either as a final destination through the Salt Lake City International Airport, or on Utah roads, to complete a travel declaration form before entering the state. 

“I am impressed with the extraordinary things that Utahns are doing each day to help one another stay safe and stay home. In recent days, however, we have seen an uptick in travel on our roads,” said Gov. Herbert.“We need to limit our travel to essential purposes only. Our goal is to trace potential cases of COVID-19 in inbound travelers.”

This will be implemented by using a wireless emergency alert system near our borders in order to notify those entering by car and truck of the need to complete a declaration online. 

The Utah Department of Transportation has coordinated with other state agencies and political subdivisions as necessary to identify highway entry points and ensure that each highway entry point is identified on a map made available to the public on coronavirus.utah.gov. 

The Utah Department of Technology Services will provide the encryption of all data collected and transmitted pursuant to this order. It will also ensure the system involving the collection, transmission, and storage of data collected pursuant to this order meets national privacy and security standards.

 No personally identifiable information or personal health information gathered as a result of this survey will be shared with the public or with any unauthorized individual. 

This order will go into effect at 8:00 a.m. on April 10, 2020 and shall remain in effect until 11:59 p.m. on May 1, 2020.
