And thankfully the title of the thread is not "are you planning a vacation or trip to a hot spot and looking for ways around the mandatory quarantine a lot of employers have". Because there are posts of people trying to get around quarantines.I personally do not understand anyone planning a "vacation" for the next month or so. And on top of that planning on going to one of the states that is very obviously not doing well. And on top of that being surprised that they are asked to quarantine after coming back from a hot spot.
I've wondered about what other businesses are doing with regard to the mandatory quarantine in some states since we received our letter. It's interesting to see that we're not the only ones told of mandatory quarantine by employers.... which they put out regardless if you're actually planning a vacation or not, because "vacation" is not the only reason for interstate travel. Another part of the letter stated that travel for business is also either eliminated or if necessary they will have to quarantine.
Our state should be making it mandatory, not leaving it up to the employers. "Suggested" and "recommended" are not going to stop people from unnecessary travel so businesses had to make that call, IMO. And it's not taken lightly, since we were a hot spot in the beginning and we certainly don't want to go backwards.
