Travelers from 31 states must quarantine after entering New York
A quick trip to New York, New Jersey or Connecticut could be a lot less feasible for many Americans. People traveling to the tri-state area from 31 U.S. states are now instructed to self-quarantine for 14 days, New York Governor Andrew Cuomo, New Jersey Governor Phil Murphy and Connecticut Governor Ned Lamont announced Tuesday.
The restrictions are part of the three states' joint travel advisory, which is a response to the "increased rates of COVID-19 transmission in certain states," New York state's coronavirus website outlines. The governors first announced the advisory on June 24 and update the states required to quarantine each week, depending on their number of positive cases.
Travelers to New York from states with a positive test rate higher than 10 per 100,00 citizens or a rate of testing positivity higher than 10% over a seven-day rolling average must quarantine, according to a June state Department of Health press release.
Ten states were added to the travel advisory on Tuesday, including Virginia, Washington and Alaska, with one Minnesota being removed, according to a press release from Cuomo's office.
