Caring for Lopez Island Health
The safety of our Lopez Island community is our highest priority. In light of growing concerns about COVID-19, the Lopez Island Chamber of Commerce is encouraging visitors, and people whose primary home is somewhere other than Lopez, to postpone their travel plans to the island to help us manage the potential spread of the virus AND prevent overloading our limited health care and emergency care infrastructure. Coming to the island may provide some social distancing peace of mind, but you will be joining a community with limited essential supplies and limited response resources. We appreciate our part-time community members and their contributions to the well being of the island. We thank them for sheltering in their primary homes during this time and we look forward to their return when conditions are calmer.
Governor Inslee has issued a temporary statewide order, effective through May 4 to Stay Home, Stay Healthy. Only essential businesses are to be operating.
San Juan County has issued the following recommendations for anyone coming to the islands, or returning from a trip to the mainland, no matter the length of the trip:
- Follow the Governor’s order limiting all non-essential travel
- Aggressive hand washing prior, during and following an allowed trip
- A self-imposed 14-day quarantine after return to ensure COVID-19 containment
- Having supplies on hand for quarantine in advance of mainland travel
