New York Governor Andrew Cuomo added 10 more states to a travel advisory Tuesday that requires people entering New York to be quarantined for 14 days. Recently added states with significant COVID-19 “community spread” are Alaska, Delaware, Indiana, Maryland, Missouri, Montana, North Dakota, Nebraska, Virginia, and Washington.
The announcement comes a day after New York City became the last region in the state to enter Phase 4, allowing for an increase in film and television production.
Quarantine applies to anyone arriving from a state with a positive test rate greater than 10 per 100,000 residents, or a state with a positivity rate of 10% or more, for a 7-day moving average.

California, which will overtake New York state by the total number of cases by the end of the week, is on the list that has now been increased to 31 states, a considerable change for New York once it was the center of the global pandemic of the nation.
“As infection rates increase in 41 other states, our numbers continue to decline steadily, thanks to the hard work of New Yorkers and our incremental data-driven openness. Yesterday, we had the lowest death toll since the pandemic began, and no deaths in New York City. While today’s figures are encouraging, we must remain vigilant, “said Cuomo.
