NY, NJ, AND CT ISSUE TRAVEL ADVISORY
July 8, 2020
On June 24, 2020, the governors of Connecticut, New York, and New Jersey issued a joint travel advisory, available here, requiring travelers from COVID-19 hotspots to quarantine upon entry into theses states. Specifically, the order states that all travelers entering from a state with a positive test rate higher than 10 per 100,000 residents, or higher than a 10% test positivity rate, over a seven day rolling average, will be required to quarantine for a period of 14 days.
The tri-state measure will use messaging on highways, airports, websites and social media across to communicate the advisory, and will also ask hotels to communicate the 14-day quarantine to guests who have traveled from one of the impacted states. The states agreed to continually update and publish on their respective websites a list of states to which the new advisory applies. Currently, travelers from the following states are subject to the 14-day quarantine: Alabama; Arkansas; Arizona; Florida; North Carolina; South Carolina; Texas; Utah; Washington.
