(found at https://coronavirus.health.ny.gov/covid-19-travel-advisory )
In response to increased rates of COVID-19 transmission in certain states within the US, and to protect New York’s successful containment of COVID-19, the State has joined with New Jersey and Connecticut in jointly issuing a travel advisory for anyone returning from travel to states that have a significant degree of community-wide spread of COVID-19.
All out-of-state travelers from designated states must complete the form upon entering New York. Travelers who leave the airport without completing the form will be subject to a $2,000 fine and may be
brought to a hearing and ordered to complete mandatory quarantine. Travelers coming to New York from designated states through other means of transport, including trains and cars, must fill out the form online
(found at https://forms.ny.gov/s3/Welcome-to-New-York-State-Traveler-Health-Form ).
Travelers from affected states are subject to a precautionary quarantine period and will be contacted by the NYS Contact Tracing Program or the Wyoming County Health Department.
To file a report of an individual failing to adhere to the quarantine pursuant to the travel advisory, please call 1-833-789-0470 or visit https://mylicense.custhelp.com/app/ask to file a complaint online.
