New York Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo, New Jersey Gov. Phil Murphy and Connecticut Gov. Ned Lamont today announced a joint incoming travel advisory that all individuals traveling from states with significant community spread of COVID-19 quarantine for a 14-day period from the time of last contact within the identified state.
Delaware and Pennsylvania did not join the three states in instituting the quarantine order.
This quarantine – effective midnight tonight – applies to any person arriving 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 7-day rolling average.
Florida has seen a spike in cases in the past few weeks. Delaware’s positive case rate has been below five percent in recent weeks.
The advisory would appear to mainly affect Florida, which has a large number of part-year residents who also reside in the Tri-State area around New York City, a former epicenter for coronavirus cases.
