TAMPA, Fla. — New York state is issuing an emergency health order impacting travelers from Florida.
Gov. Andrew Cuomo announced Monday that all out-of-state travelers from "designated high-COVID" states must provide their contact information when they arrive in the Empire State.
Anyone who fails to provide contact information in New York could be issued a summons with a $2,000 fine, New York's governor said.
"We're serious about enforcing quarantine," Cuomo tweeted.
Currently, New York is requiring travelers from 19 states, including Florida, to self-quarantine for 14 days when they arrive up north.
"The quarantine applies to any person arriving from a state with a positive test rate higher than 10 per 100,000 residents over a 7-day rolling average or a state with a 10 percent or higher positivity rate over a 7-day rolling average," New York said.
