On Tuesday, Governor Lamont announced that three more states have been added to Connecticut’s travel advisory: Delaware, Kansas, Oklahoma.
Now there are 19 states included in the regional travel advisory issued by Governor Lamont, Governor Phil Murphy of New Jersey and Governor Andrew Cuomo of New York and first announced on June 24.
If you’re traveling to Connecticut from the following states you need to self-quarantine for 14 days: Alabama, Arkansas, Arizona, California, Delaware, Florida, Georgia, Iowa, Idaho, Kansas, Louisiana, Mississippi, North Carolina, Oklahoma, Nevada, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, and Utah.
Anyone traveling into Connecticut, New York, or New Jersey from a state that has a new daily positive test rate higher than 10 per 100,000 residents or a state with a 10% or higher positivity rate over a 7-day rolling average are directed to self-quarantine for a 14-day period from the time of last contact within the identified state.
Travelers and those residents who are returning from impacted states should self-quarantine at their home, hotel, or other temporary lodging. Individuals should leave the place of self-quarantine only to seek medical care/treatment or to obtain food and other essential items.
Travelers and residents returning from impacted states typically will not need to check-in with public health officials, unless otherwise they are involved in contract tracing efforts or required to do so by their employer or any other federal, state or local law or order.
It is expected that individuals will follow the public health advisory to self-quarantine.

The travel advisory is urgent guidance, and the plan relies on “individual accountability” rather than enforcement or help of the National Guard.
