New Jersey To Require 14-Day Quarantine For Visitors From Coronavirus Hot Spots
Tri-State Advisory Will Focus on Personal Responsibility Using Uniform Parameters and Messaging Across the Three States
Effective Midnight Tonight
New Jersey Governor Phil Murphy, New York Governor Andrew M. Cuomo, and Connecticut Governor 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.
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 or a state with a 10% or higher positivity rate over a 7-day rolling average.
New Jersey, New York and Connecticut will continually update and publish on their respective websites a list of states to which the new advisory applies. This information will be updated regularly.
The tri-state measure will use uniform parameters and messaging on highways, airports, websites and social media across the three states. The three states will also ask hotels to communicate the 14-day quarantine to guests who have traveled from one of the impacted states.
Today, @NYGovCuomo, @GovNedLamont, and I announced a joint incoming travel advisory – all visitors to our region from states highly-impacted by #COVID19 should self-quarantine for 14 days.
