With Coronavirus Cases surging throughout the United States, New York Gov., Andrew Cuomo (D), announced Saturday Oct. 31st, that most Travelers must now get Covid-19 Tests Before and After arrival in the State.
The New Policy Replaces a Previous Advisory List of States with Rising Case Counts from which Travelers were Required to Quarantine for 14 Days upon Arrival in New York.
Most Travelers to New York State will be Required to Obtain a Negative Covid-19 Test Three Days prior to their Trip to the State. The Policy does Not Apply to Travel between New York and the Neighboring States of: Connecticut; New Jersey; or Pennsylvania.
Once in New York, Travelers will be Required to Quarantine for Three Days before getting another Test. If the Second Test is Negative, the Traveler will No Longer be Required to Quarantine.
The New Policy also says any New York Resident Traveling Outside the State for more than 24 hours Must Fllow the same Procedure. A New York Resident leaving the State for Less than 24 Hours will Only be Required to take the Second Test.
Each State is Responsible for its Own Enforcement of the Quarantine.
In New York those Violating the Quarantine could be Subject to a Judicial Order and Mandatory Quarantine, and Fines are $2,000 for the First Violation, $5,000 for the Second Violation, and $10,000 for those who cause Harm.
The Policy Change in New York comes as the U,S, Reported 99,321 New Covid-19 Cases on, Friday Oct. 30th., the Highest Single Day Number of Cases recorded for any Country. The Top Five Records in Daily Cases All Occurred within Eight Days, and an expert Warned the Upward Trend will Push Hospitals past Capacity.
The Total Number of U.S. Covid-19 Cases reached at least 9,075,777 on Saturday, according to Johns Hopkins University. The U.S. Reported more than 1,000 Additional Deaths Friday. The U.S. Death Toll from the Pandemic rose to over 230,000 on Saturday.
