To Go...

New York, New Jersey and Connecticut are now requiring visitors from 31 states to quarantine for 14 days in an effort to combat the growing number of coronavirus cases in the country.

The metro area announced Tuesday that 10 additional states would be added to the travel advisory that mandates the quarantine: Alaska, Delaware, Indiana, Maryland, Missouri, Montana, Nebraska, North Dakota, Virginia and Washington. Minnesota was removed from last week's list.

The new travel restrictions come as New York attempts to protect itself from further serious outbreaks across the country after the tri-state area was the U.S.'s initial epicenter for COVID-19 earlier this year.  

New York experienced its peak of new COVID-19 cases in early April, with 12,274 new cases on April 4, but now has a seven-day average of 725 new cases per day, according to New York Times data. Since the beginning of the pandemic, New York has confirmed 408,181 cases and 35,058 deaths.

Soon New Yorkers would be unable to go anywhere. Just a thought.
