Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti announced on Nov. 23 that all air travelers entering the city from another state or country will be required to complete an online form to acknowledge California’s recommended 14-day quarantine upon arrival.

Passengers arriving at LAX and Van Nuys Airport will see signs and messages reminding them to fill out the required form. Anyone over the age of 16 must submit the form prior to or upon arrival at the airports. Failure to do so may result in a $500 fine.

“COVID-19 is more dangerous than ever, and from LAX to our businesses to our homes, we have to take action to protect Angelenos and stop the spread of this virus,” Garcetti said.

Garcetti said travelers can complete the form in under a minute by visiting travel.lacity.org or by scanning a QR code posted on signage throughout LAX and Van Nuys Airport.  An advisory issued by the state of California encouraged voluntary quarantine after travel. “All persons arriving in California from other states or countries, including returning California residents, should practice self-quarantine for 14 days after arrival,” the advisory reads.
