Alaska, Montana Added To NY Coronavirus Quarantine List
New York's list of states with pandemic travel restrictions now stands at 30, plus Puerto Rico, Guam and the U.S. Virgin Islands.
NEW YORK CITY — Two states with plenty of room to social distance still made their way onto New York’s coronavirus quarantine list.
Travelers from Alaska and Montana must isolate themselves for 14 days once they arrive in New York, Gov. Andrew Cuomo announced Tuesday.
The wide-open, mountainous states had COVID-19 infection rates higher than New York’s standards of 10 per 100,000 residents over a seven-day rolling average or an area with a 10 percent rate over a seven-day average, according to a release.
