Governor Cuomo is putting in a mandatory quarantine for many out of country visitors coming into New York. Cuomo is directing some state officials to head to the New York Airports to alert international travelers of this mandatory coronavirus related quarantine.

Cuomo says it applies to all but 31 countries. “The CDC ended enhanced screening at the airports for some international travelers but we are seeing alarming increases in countries around world, especially in France, Spain and Israel.”

This quarantine comes as the coronavirus infection rate in New York State has risen to one and a half percent.
