Travel Advisory: Updated 11/04/20
New York, New Jersey, and Connecticut announced that as of 06/25/20 travelers returning or traveling from states with high coronavirus rates will be required to self-quarantine for 14 days.
· As of 11/04/20, there will be new travel guidelines. Out-of-state travelers to New York will be able to ‘test out’ of the mandatory 14-day quarantine if they have a negative COVID-19 test result at least 3 days prior to entering New York and after a 3-day quarantine starting on their arrival in New York, test negative on day 4 of their quarantine.
If you choose not to test prior to entering New York you will be on 14 day quarantine…in both instances you are responsible to complete the New York State Traveler Health Form.
If you traveled to another state for less than 24 hours, you do not need a test prior to your departure from the other state and do not need to quarantine upon arrival in NYS.
The traveler must still fill out the NYS Traveler Form and take a COVID-19 diagnostic test 4 days after their arrival in New York. For more information on this new advisory, please click here. https://coronavirus.health.ny.gov/covid-19-travel-advisory

Ø Testing: If you are being tested for COVID-19 it is important that you self-quarantine until you get your test results whether you have symptoms or not. If you are symptomatic, meaning you are coughing, have a fever or other symptoms, self-quarantine even if you are an essential worker until you get your results back, if you have COVID-19 you may be spreading it! That means to stay home and limit contact with other people, even in your household.
