On June 24, Governors Andrew Cuomo (New York), Ned Lamont (Connecticut) and Phil Murphy (New Jersey) announced new quarantine requirements for anyone traveling to their respective states from areas experiencing a surge of COVID-19 cases.
Individuals, including residents of the above states, are required to self-quarantine for 14 days upon arriving in Connecticut, New York and/or New Jersey if traveling from a state with a positive COVID-19 test rate higher than 10 per 100,000 residents, or higher than a 10 percent COVID-19 positive test rate over a seven-day rolling average.
As of Wednesday, when the quarantine was announced, persons traveling or returning to the tri-state area from Alabama, Arkansas, Arizona, Florida, North Carolina, South Carolina, Utah and Texas are required to self-quarantine. The list of states will change based on testing data received.
Connecticut, New Jersey and New York residents are permitted to travel to and from the tri-state area but must adhere to the quarantine restrictions if they visit a state with high rates of COVID-19 cases. In New York, violating the self-quarantine order may result in a monetary fine.
For more information, please review the executive order or press release issued by each respective state:
Each state will be issuing additional guidance and there are many open issues, particularly related to employment considerations. As such, you should consult with counsel when dealing with these issues.
