New Yorkers returning home from the listed locations must also be quarantined.
What awaits violators
Anyone who violates the quarantine will be placed in mandatory quarantine and ordered to pay a fine, Cuomo said. The amount of the fine can reach $ 2 thousand for the first violation, $ 5 thousand - for the second and $ 10 thousand if the violator by his actions causes someone "harm".
In addition, Cuomo recently announced the start of an enforcement operation at airports across the state. The purpose of the operation is to ensure travelers comply with quarantine restrictions and help reduce transmission of COVID-19 in New York State.
Now everyone who leaves the airport without filling out a special form with contact information will be fined $ 2000. On this form, you must provide your contact information and places that you plan to visit during your stay in New York. You can fill out the form online.
Who is exempt from quarantine
Life support workers, as well as those who only pass through the states mentioned above and do not stay in them for more than 24 hours, are not required to go to quarantine for two weeks.
