County of Humboldt Joint Information Center release: 

The California Redwood Coast-Humboldt County Airport (ACV) and the county’s five general aviation airports continue to operate during the COVID-19 pandemic.

“Aviation staff are working diligently with the Humboldt County Department of Health and Human Services Public Health Branch, United Airlines and travelers who rely on our airport to try to minimize impacts of the COVID-19 outbreak,” said Director of Aviation Cody Roggatz. “We have provided additional hand-washing stations, hand-sanitizing pumps and implemented additional cleaning measures at the ACV Terminal, as the health and safety of our travelers and staff remains our top priority.”

Passengers are asked to take the following measures while traveling to decrease transmission of COVID-19:

  • Only essential air travel should be conducted. Consider canceling or postponing non-essential air travel as recommended by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
  • Practice social distancing guidelines.
  • Wash hands frequently throughout your journey. If soap and water are unavailable, the CDC recommends using alcohol-based hand sanitizer that contains at least 60 percent alcohol.

Air travel is not advised for:

  • High risk populations, including those 65 and older, those with a history of respiratory issues and those at higher risk of serious chronic medical conditions such as heart disease, lung disease or diabetes.
  • Individuals who plan to be in contact with people who are high risk and/or have a serious, chronic medical condition upon arrival at final destination.
