If someone travels to New York City from any of the 35 states that have “dangerously high infection rates” they will have to quarantine for 14-days or face a fine of $2,000.

As New York state has seen a steady decline in the number of daily new coronavirus cases, officials have taken steps to try to ensure visitors adhere to the quarantine to prevent a resurgence of the virus.

Now, New York City says it will install checkpoints to at “key point of entry” for visitors to learn about the quarantine. 

In a tweet on Wednesday, New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio (D) said, “New Yorkers have worked too hard to beat back COVID-19 — we cannot lose that progress. 35 states have dangerously high infection rates. We won’t let the virus spread here.”

He continued, “Today we’re announcing check points at key points of entry into New York City. We’ll educate travelers on the state’s mandatory 14 day quarantine and help them follow the rules safely.”

On June 24, Cuomo announced that New York, New Jersey, and Connecticut would require visitors from states with a positive test rate of over 10%.

“What happens in New York, happens in New Jersey, happens in Connecticut,” Cuomo said as he explained why the three states had agreed to implement a quarantine for travelers.

At the time, the list contained just nine states.

But as the spread of the virus accelerated throughout the country in July, New York continued to add more and more states to its quarantine list. There are now 35 states on the list.

On July 13, Cuomo announced that out of state visitors from coronavirus hot spots would be required to hand over contact information or face a fine, as IJR reported.

“If you fail to provide it, you will receive a summons with a $2K fine. We’re serious about enforcing quarantine,” Cuomo said in a tweet.

NY is issuing an emergency health order:

Out-of-state travelers from designated high-COVID states must provide their contact information upon arrival.

If you fail to provide it, you will receive a summons with a $2K fine.

We’re serious about enforcing quarantine.

New York was once the epicenter of the outbreak and recorded thousands of new cases every day. However, since late-April, the number of new daily cases has steadily declined in the state.
