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