The state of Connecticut has added to the list of the states that people traveling from must quarantine for 14 days.
Anyone who is traveling into Connecticut, New York, or New Jersey from a state that has a new daily positive COVID-19 test rate higher than 10 per 100,000 residents or a state with a 10 percent or higher positivity rate over a seven-day span must self-quarantine for 14 days.

The travel advisory applies to all travelers whose travel originates from the impacted states, and also applies to Connecticut residents who are returning from a visit to the impacted states.
On Monday, Gov. Ne Lamont said Connecticut will partner with New York to toughen the travel quarantine advisory by implementing a certification process for travelers.
