22 States Now on Tri-State Quarantine List as Cuomo Ups Ante With New NY Emergency Order
"No one wants to go back to the hell we experienced three months ago, so please stay vigilant," Gov. Andrew Cuomo said Tuesday
By Jennifer Millman • Published July 14, 2020
Gov. Andrew Cuomo is upping the ante on the state's quarantine advisory, now requiring travelers from hotspot states to submit a form with their contact information and where they'll spend their 14-day isolation
Failure to submit that form may result in a $2,000 fine; violators may also be summoned for a hearing and subject to mandatory quarantine. The rules now apply to travelers from 22 states, with four more added Tuesday
Cuomo announced the new state health emergency order Monday, saying noncompliance from out-of-state travelers was contributing to new COVID clusters in New York; that compounds the compliance problem locally
Citing noncompliance with the existing quarantine advisory, Gov. Andrew Cuomo upped the ante with a new emergency health order in New York starting Tuesday. Travelers from those 22 hotspots landing at New York airports now must fill out a form that state officials will use to ensure they isolate for 14 days.
Four more states were added to the tri-state's quarantine-restricted list Tuesday -- New Mexico, Minnesota, Wisconsin and Ohio. Delaware came off, no longer meeting the criteria to be considered a viral hotspot under New York standards.
That brings the total number on the list to 22. In addition to the newcomers, the restricted states include: Alabama, Arkansas, Arizona, California, Florida, Georgia, Iowa, Idaho, Kansas, Louisiana, Mississippi, North Carolina, Nevada, Oklahoma, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas and Utah.
Statewide, New York's daily spot positivity test rate was 1.5 percent Tuesday, the highest it has been in about six weeks. Over a seven-day rolling period, the positive test rate average is just 1 percent, a far cry from the 48 percent weekly rolling average the state saw at the crisis' peak in early April. Cuomo never wants to climb that mountain again.
My Wife and I are thinking about driving to Queens from Florida with our 3 kids due to my Wife's grandmother's health is declining and she wants to make sure she spends as much time with her as she can. We have been quarantining in our house since the pandemic started except just food shopping and essential stuff. My wife got tested and is negative. I understand we have to quarantine for 14 days and we will comply. I am just trying to determine if it is even worth it. If we do decide, we will stop to sleep overnight at a hotel and obviously multiple stops along the way (bathroom breaks and food). I guess I just want to get everyone else's input to help us better decide.
Did you and your kids get tested? Unless you all get tested it seems dopey to,possibly infect an infirmed elderly woman with covid.
Where are you staying for the 14 days? With grandma? That doesn't sound too great for her. If at a hotel, you have a higher risk of contracting covid and spreading it.
How is Grandma? Can she interact with others? Does she feel well enough to have these visitors for 14 days? Has anyone asked HER what SHE would want?
Coming up to give Grandma a swift and rapid end. How kind.
I have zero plans on visiting my grandmother or any other relatives. People have no idea about the G Clade Variant and now the confirmation that you can get the same strain twice as well due to antibodies only lasting 3 months.

Nope don't do it. I'm not scared of the corona virus in any sense but if I went and saw my elderly parents and one got sick and died , I'd never forgive myself. Same with my friends in the nursing home, I won't be visiting them anytime soon, even if they allow visitors.

Rent a RV, drive it up, quarantine in it after arrival for 2 weeks and then visit with grandma.
