Travelers from Louisiana to New York will be fined $ 2,000 if they don’t meet that state’s coronavirus restrictions, New York officials said Monday.
If you traveled from Louisiana, New York officials said, you must be quarantined for 14 days when you enter New York.
The restrictions are for travelers arriving by plane, train and car, authorities said. Louisiana is one of 19 states on New York’s restricted travel list.
People flying to New York from Louisiana have to complete a State Department of Health traveler form on the plane and deliver it to “enforcement teams,” authorities said.
