Q: What does quarantine mean?

A: If you are returning from travel to a designated state, and if such travel was for longer than the limited duration outlined within the executive order, you are required to quarantine when you enter New York for 14 days from the last day you were in a designated state(s), unless you are an essential worker or fall under another exception as determined by the Commissioner. The requirements to safely quarantine include:

Per Gov. Andrew Cuomo’s Executive Order, all travelers entering New York from a state with a positive test rate higher than 10 per 100,000 residents, or higher than a 10 percent test positivity rate, over a seven-day rolling average, will be required to quarantine for a period of 14 days consistent with Department of Health regulations for quarantine.
