New Jersey Keeps 14-day Quarantine Rule for Travelers As New York Shifts to COVID Testing

Despite New York abandoning its 14-day quarantine COVID-19 protocol for out-of-state travelers earlier this week, neighboring New Jersey will stick to its original travel advisory plan.
New Jersey Gov. Phil Murphy announced Monday that New Jersey will continue its plan that has been in place since June to stop new coronavirus cases from entering the state. The plan initially applied to New Jersey, New York, and Connecticut.
Anyone who travels to New Jersey from a list of certain states is still required to quarantine for 14 days upon arrival. At the moment, the list includes 40 states and Puerto Rico. Despite meeting the criteria for inclusion on the list, travelers from New York, Pennsylvania and Delaware are exempt from the 14-day quarantine because of their proximity and regularity of crossing state lines.
Unlike New York’s travel list rules, which could fine anyone caught breaking the rules, New Jersey had no punishment for quarantine breakers and simply asks travelers to take personal responsibility.
