Travelers from New York, New Jersey, and Connecticut going to Arizona will have to be quarantined for 14 days, announced Gov. Doug Ducey on Tuesday.

“Slowing the spread of COVID-19 remains our top priority,” said Ducey in announcing the measure. “Today’s action aligns with guidance from public health officials, while ensuring those traveling for essential functions can continue to do so. We will take all necessary precautions to keep Arizonans safe.”
