CT Drops 1 State, Adds 2 More to Travel Advisory List

CONNECTICUT — The governors of Connecticut, New York and New Jersey have dropped one state from their coronavirus travel advisory list, but have added two more.

Washington, which was only added provisionally last week while its metrics were under review, passed muster and travel from that state is now possible without undergoing quarantine. However, travelers from Alaska and Delaware, which have seen upticks in COVID-19 positive tests, must now self-quarantine for 14 days when entering Connecticut, New York or Jersey.

Two travelers were fined earlier this month after they refused to fill out the Connecticut's travel quarantine form. One was fined twice; once for not filling out the travel form and another for not following the 14-day quarantine rule.

States are put on the advisory list if they have a daily positive coronavirus test rate higher than 10 per 100,000 residents or a 10 percent or higher positive rate over a seven-day rolling average.

As of August 18, the following 35 locations meet these criteria and are included in Connecticut's travel advisory:

• Alabama
• Alaska
• Arkansas
• Arizona
• California
• Delaware
• Florida
• Georgia
• Hawaii
