Gov. Andrew Cuomo on Tuesday returned two states to the list of places from where travelers to New York State must quarantine for 14 days to curb the spread of coronavirus.
The states previously removed from the list that are now back on it are Alaska and Montana, which have had a positive test rate higher than 10 per 100,000 residents over a 7-day rolling average or an area with a 10 percent or higher positivity rate over a 7-day rolling average, according to the governor.
“As we continue to pursue a phased, data driven reopening, the number of areas that remain on New York’s travel advisory is a stark reminder of the continued extent of the COVID-19 crisis throughout the nation,” Cuomo said.
The list includes 30 states, plus Puerto Rico, the U.S. Virgin Islands, and Guam. New York City has set up checkpoints at bridges and tunnels to ensure travelers from other states fill out the required contact tracing paperwork or face fines.
