Governor Andrew Cuomo announced that the order would end April 1 during a March 11 press release. However, he suggested all travelers continue quarantining as an added precaution. As we previously reported, the state was one of many that required travelers from out-of-state or New York residents to quarantine for two weeks upon arriving in the state since June of last year.
“This is great news, but it is not an all-clear for New Yorkers to let their guard down,” said Governor Cuomo. “To beat this virus once and for all we all must continue doing what we know works to stop the spread, including wearing masks, washing our hands, and practicing social distancing.”
Aside from this, the state says all travelers who fly into New York must still fill out the Traveler Health Form and mandatory quarantining is still in effect for all international travelers.
