Cuomo’s not kidding. New York-bound travelers arriving at any airport who don’t fill out forms and self-quarantine must face $2,000 fines. Gov. Andrew Cuomo announced the penalty in addition to a mandatory quarantine order for anyone failing to fully comply in filling out their personal information on a tracing form that the state will use to help make sure out-of-state travelers stay indoors. New York State shares this initiative with the tri-state area that includes New Jersey and Connecticut.

While states handle visitor closures differently, increasingly, there’s “demarketing” going on.
In Rhode Island, there’s a mandatory 14-day quarantine for anyone from a state with 5% or greater positivity rate on June 30th.
In New Mexico, “no thanks” is the messaging to out-of-state folks, reports Travel Weekly.
Puerto Rico is only encouraging essential travel right now and is postponing its official inbound tourism reopening. To avoid quarantine, visitors must produce a negative COVID-19 test result obtained 72 hours prior to arrival.
