GOVERNOR DESANTIS ANNOUNCES TRAVEL RESTRICTIONS BETWEEN FLORIDA AND NEW YORK, NEW JERSEY, AND CONNECTICUT
March 28, 2020
On March 23, 2020, Florida Governor Ron Desantis issued Executive Order 20-80, which requires all passengers from New York, New Jersey, and Connecticut who enter the state of Florida through an airport to isolate or quarantine themselves for 14 days, or for the length of their stay, whichever is less. Furthermore, these isolated passengers are responsible for all costs associated with any such isolation and self-quarantine. The order does not apply to persons employed by airlines, or those persons providing military, emergency, or health services. Violators of the Executive Order are guilty of committing a second degree misdemeanor, which is punishable by imprisonment not to exceed 60 days, a fine not to exceed $500, or both. The order took effect on March 24, 2020 at 12:01 a.m. EDT and will not expire until Governor Desantis rescinds his previous related order declaring a state of emergency in Florida.
