Are flights delayed out of Seattle today
The Seattle-Tacoma International Airport (SEA) is experiencing general arrival delays of 15 minutes or less.
The new guidance from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) as of August 11, 2020 is that you do not need to stay home (quarantine) unless you have symptoms. This means that if you have been exposed to someone with COVID-19, you can go about your normal activities for 10 days as long as you wear a high-quality mask around others and get tested on day five. This is a change from the previous guidance, which was to quarantine for 14 days.

In light of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, airlines must refuse to board anyone who does not present a negative test result for the virus or documentation of recovery. This is a necessary measure to protect the health and safety of all passengers and crew members, and it is vital that everyone do their part in stopping the spread of the disease. We appreciate everyone’s understanding and cooperation during this difficult time.
