US Northeast governors order quarantine of visitors from coronavirus hot spot states
– The governors of New York, New Jersey and Connecticut on Wednesday ordered travelers from eight other US states to be quarantined for two weeks on arrival, as COVID-19 infections surged in regions spared the brunt of the initial outbreak.
Earlier in the day, New Jersey Governor Phil Murphy said the tough new tri-state quarantine mandate was “the smart thing to do” after the United States as a whole recorded its second-greatest daily increase in COVID-19 cases since early March. Concern over rising case numbers in several states was reflected in some of America’s biggest entertainment and leisure companies as well.
New York City was the early epicenter of the U.S. coronavirus pandemic. More than 31,000 people have died of COVID-19 in New York state alone, roughly one-quarter of the U.S. total, according to a Reuters tally. New Jersey and Connecticut were also especially hard hit at the outset of the health crisis.
