MILWAUKEE, WI — People from Wisconsin wanting to travel to New York State will have to quarantine for 14 days after Gov. Andrew Cuomo said Minnesota, New Mexico, Ohio and Wisconsin now have significant community spread of the coronavirus and meet the state's metrics to qualify for the order. Under the order, the quarantine applies to any person arriving from a state with a positive coronavirus test rate higher than 10 per 100,000 residents over a seven-day rolling average, or a state with at least a 10 percent positivity rate over a seven-day rolling average. >> Related Reading: Minnesota was also put on New York's quarantine list. "I cannot be more clear: Look at what's happening in the rest of the country — if we are not smart, if we don't wear masks and socially distance, cases will spike," Cuomo said, as reported by New York Patch. "No one wants to go back to the hell we experienced three months ago, so please stay vigilant." As of Tuesday's announcement, Wisconsin joins 21 other states on New York's quarantine list. Those states include Florida, California and Texas among others.
