In June, New York, New Jersey and Connecticut announced they were implementing a mandated self-quarantine for travelers from any state where COVID-19 cases pass a certain threshold. At the time, the list included nine states.
The four states added to the list are New Mexico, Minnesota, Wisconsin and Ohio. They join these 18 states: Alabama, Arkansas, Arizona, California, Florida, Georgia, Iowa, Idaho, Kansas, Louisiana, Mississippi, North Carolina, Nevada, Oklahoma, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas and Utah. Delaware was taken off the list when its COVID-19 case count fell below the threshold.
Travelers from the 22 states must fill out a form with their contact information before leaving the airport so state officials can make sure they remain in quarantine for 14 days. A $2,000 fine will be imposed on those who do not fill out the form.
