New York Tri-State Area
to Impose Quarantine on Travelers
From COVID-19 Hotspots The governors of New York, New Jersey and
Connecticut have joined together to sustain
the low COVID-19 infection rates in their states. All travelers from COVID-19
hotspots will be required
to self-quarantine for at least
14 days upon their arrival. New York and New Jersey, the former epicenter
of the COVID-19 outbreak in the United States,
are now two of just three states currently on
track to contain the virus. NJ Governor Phil
Murphy, via NBC According to New York Governor Andrew Cuomo,
the quarantine will apply to states that have a
positive COVID-19 rate of 10 percent. It will also apply to states where 10 out of every 100,000
people test positive on a seven-day rolling average. Nine states currently meet that threshold:
Alabama, Arkansas, Arizona, Florida, North Carolina,
South Carolina, Washington, Utah and Texas.
