New York State has issued new travel guidelines with its COVID-19 Travel Advisory allowing out-of-state travelers to New York to “test out” of the mandatory 14-day quarantine.
For any traveler to New York State from out of state, exempting the contiguous states, the new guidelines for travelers to test-out of the mandatory 14-day quarantine are below:
-
For travelers who were in another state for more than 24 hours:
-
Travelers must obtain a test within three days of departure from that state.
-
The traveler must, upon arrival in New York, quarantine for three days.
-
On day 4 of their quarantine, the traveler must obtain another COVID test. If both tests comes back negative, the traveler may exit quarantine early upon receipt of the second negative diagnostic test.
-
-
For travelers who were in another state for less than 24 hours:
-
The traveler does not need a test prior to their departure from the other state, and does not need to quarantine upon arrival in New York State.
-
However, the traveler must fill out our traveler form upon entry into New York State, and take a COVID diagnostic test 4 days after their arrival in New York.
