Re: New travel rules

I am so confused by the travel rules.
It says anyone coming to NY has to have a negative test min. 3 days before flying in then when they get here they have to quarantine for 3 days and then on the 4th as long as its a negative you can go out! which is fine for people that live out of state.
What I don't get is if I plan on visiting FL for say only 3 or 4 day which I have done to visit family. I basically as soon as I get there go get tested (will my insurance even cover out of state tests??) and hope I get it back in time??? !!!!
that seems crazy to me!
i am over all the rules and hope they will end soon!
Yes - a day or two after you get to FL you would need to get a test there, and then upon arriving back in NY you would quarantine for three days, on day four you will get tested again and then once you get a negative result you are free to move about. The alternative is going to FL, not getting tested there or when you return and quarantine for 14 days upon arriving in NY.
I have been tested many times already as has my family. The test is quick and painless and most places make it easy to schedule and provide fast results. To me, this is much better than a mandatory 14 day quarantine. I have not been charged at all for the test. I believe insurance will cover it regardless of the reason that you are being tested.
I actually think that this type of testing is what gives us more flexibility and will help curb the spread. Is it annoying and inconvenient? Yes. But the alternative of not being able to travel or having to quarantine for two weeks for leaving the state is way worse.

If you have left New York to go somewhere, the rules are a little bit different. If you leave the state for 24 hours or more, when you come back you have to take a test and then again on the third day I believe I read?
The rules are the same whether you are a NYS resident or not if you have left the state for over 24 hours. This is from the NYS website:
For any traveler who has traveled outside of New York for more than 24 hours, such traveler must seek testing prior to departure from that state, within 72 hours of departure, prior to arrival in New York.
The traveler must, upon arrival in New York, quarantine according to Department of Health guidelines for a minimum of three days, measured from time of arrival and on day 4 may seek a diagnostic test to exit quarantine. The traveler may exit quarantine upon receipt of the second negative test result.
Who is supervising this?
I don't believe anyone is supervising/enforcing this but I think that the concern would be if you traveled OOS via a plane, for example, come back and don't follow the rules, then test positive, perhaps there could be consequences?

No clue but so many stories where no one is taking paperwork after flights so I don't think this is as monitored as they claim it is.

I haven't seemed many claims of them monitoring it. I think that it's more of the honor system.

As someone who has traveled domestic and internationally. No one is checking this. Unless you have been in the airports first hand to see. The news makes you believe we are all trapped here.

That's what I have heard from people I know who have travelled.
Maybe it's a deterrent? Like saying this will scare people away from travelling?
But nobody who I know has had any restrictions or paperwork or phone calls.
So I'm reconsidering rebooking my trip that I was holding off on.

Re: New travel rules
Ok so let’s say you go to Florida. You have a hotel booked for 4 nights, you get tested on day 2 and boom! You’re positive. Now what?
Do you fly home with a mask and maybe expose people on the way then quarantine in your house?
Do you become a squatter in your hotel room for 14 days that you only have booked for 2 more nights? What if they can’t accommodate you? What if you can’t afford 12 more nights? Do you go to a shelter?
This really seems kinda nuts.

Re: New travel rules
So I follow someone on Instagram that has been on vacation to Mexico 3 times in the past 4 or 5 months . She lives in California.
Someone just asked her if she has to quarantine or get tested etc upon returning from Mexico and she said no.
Not sure if it's different returning to NY

I have a coworker who was stopped in the airport but most people I have heard from haven’t been.
Nobody stops you if you drive.
But if you do test positive and it’s found out you didn’t abide by the rules you are subject to a large fine.

That sounds much better! Did you see it written that way somewhere? Because I know someone currently on vacation who got tested during their trip because of this new rule. That was their understanding of how it worked as well, luckily they tested negative.

I am in Florida now. I had to come due to a family medical situation. I thought all people leaving, even NY residents, have to get tested before coming back to NY. I hope I misunderstood and only need test when I get home. that would be great as there are issues with me finding a testing site and then I believe I will have to pay quite a bit for it. I need to look into it more. For anyone else wondering, I saw National Guard checking people in Islip coming from incoming flights as they exited to leave gate area.

Let us know when you get back. If you take a later flight into Islip I doubt they will be there at all.

New travel rules
The state website says the following (very confusing).
For any traveler to New York State from a noncontiguous state, US territory or CDC level 2 or level 3 country, the new guidelines for travelers to test-out of the mandatory 14-day quarantine are below:
For travelers who were out-of-state for more than 24 hours:
Travelers must obtain a test within three days of departure, prior to arrival in New York.
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.

It seems NYers need a test while away then.

Yes - unless you are gone less than 24 hours. Otherwise you are supposed to quarantine for 2 weeks.
I'm not sure though who is monitoring if there was a test taken before the traveler returns?

Re: New travel rules
I’m not understanding how testing while you’re away then after being back for 4 days means you don’t have to quarantine for 14 days? Taking a test only after being back for 4 days really has the same result as having taken it prior to returning.

It requires 2 tests and the theory is that if you are sick 2 tests have a greater chance of it showing up in one of them. One test does nothing. So they are requiring two. One to show you were “not sick” prior to coming and one to show you still aren’t sick. If the first one is positive you should be staying where you are and if the 2nd ends up positive then you need to quarantine.
It’s all to keep each other as safe as possible. We are spiking all I’ve the country. No one is telling anyone not to travel all they are saying is do your part to try and keep us all safe!!
It’s about the greater good!!

One of my friend's child drove out of state this weekend, no paperwork given, no stopping at all when they returned.
There is really no way to catch everyone. Can you imagine what the back up would be like at the bridges?
Think of the GW Bridge on any normal day.
Now picture them stopping and questioning people.
It would be a disaster.
The only thing I can think of is tracking you via your EZPass
The stopping started in August. It was a huge reason why I wouldn't let my ex husband take my son on vacation in August.
They started with the three SI bridges (I live on SI) and then added the GW Bridge and the Holland and Lincoln tunnels. It was every 6th car
NOW they on;y really do the Holland Lincoln. and they post on their Twitter where they are going to be on any given day.

We traveled over a few of those bridges in August and saw nothing. No stopping. The traffic was shittty enough so thank god.

Bunch of BS to scare people. My family has been back and forth to Florida and Alabama since the Summer. Flying and driving...no stops, no monitoring, no paperwork.
