(CNN)New York, New Jersey and Connecticut issued a travel advisory Wednesday that requires people arriving from states with high coronavirus rates to quarantine for 14 days.

The travel advisory applies to anyone coming from a state with a positive test rate higher than 10 per 100,000 residents over a 7-day rolling average or a state with a 10% or higher positivity rate over a seven-day rolling average, according to a joint announcement from the governors of the three states.

"We have to make sure the virus doesn't come in on a plane," said New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo.

As of Wednesday, the advisory applies to Alabama, Arkansas, Arizona, Florida, North Carolina, South Carolina, Utah and Texas. It begins tonight at midnight.

Each of New York, New Jersey and Connecticut will be responsible for its own enforcement of the quarantine. The states' health commissioners will pursue an aggressive public relations campaign at airports, highways and other locations.

In New York, Cuomo said, those violating the quarantine could be subject to a judicial order and mandatory quarantine, and fines are $2,000 for the first violation, $5,000 for the second violation, and $10,000 if you cause harm.

New Jersey Gov. Phil Murphy said the advisory applies to everyone, including New Jerseyans returning home.
"This is not a polite recommendation, this is a strong advisory built on the back of the healthcare professionals," he said. "We are asking folks to take on a big amount of personal responsibility here, to do the right thing for themselves as well as for their families, communities and the rest of us."

When asked about the possibility of fines, he said the health commissioner "has within her powers to directly address an individual who is non-compliant."

Nobody listens to that stuff it’s impossible to enforce

[lakerboy]

Nothing like the person whose State had people fleeing to go to places like the Ozarks talking now.

Funny how when Trump was going to quarentine those states when the whole scamdemic started Cuomo had a cow and was calling it unconstitutional.

[Unrivaled]

Cuomo is a joke. But if they were serious about lowering the numbers do what Canada did.

They never could though because the governors all have different opinions on it. Can't even blame Trump for the most part.

I wonder if they'll enforce it on out of state BLMers showing up for the latest protest/riot.

They pass these rules but there is no way to enforce them. Why even bother? There will be maybe 3 people that follow this rule. Pointless to pass this nonsense if they can't enforce it.

There's stories of American's crossing the border to Canada to "go to Alaska". A few were caught in Canadian National Park last weekend as they lied and they got big fines.

Fining people makes them think twice.

They're doing it to scare those states and show them how serious their situation is.

Means nothing

[Booya711]

These three states can’t wipe their own ass of the Covid so they have to do this....

[pologq]

he is getting attacked here with how to enforce it and he claims "the honor system" - it is up to businesses to say if an employee went somewhere on the list or hotels to warn others not to come in. idiotic statement to make imo.

smart move
