Florida coronavirus: Governor plans to expand self-quarantine mandate for travelers from New York tri-state area
CNNWashington CNN — Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis said Tuesday he plans to expand his already far-reaching executive order mandating a 14-day self-quarantine or isolation period for travelers coming to Florida from airports in New York, New Jersey and Connecticut amid the novel coronavirus pandemic. DeSantis’ press office said late Tuesday that the state had yet to issue a single quarantine order to individual travelers from the New York tri-state area. “Quarantine orders will be issued by the Surgeon General as needed.” Dr. Deborah Birx, the White House’s coronavirus response coordinator, referenced DeSantis’ order at a news conference later Tuesday while urging everyone who has left the New York area to self-quarantine for 14 days, wherever they are. DeSantis said that members of the Florida National Guard were at Miami International Airport and Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport on Tuesday, providing information to travelers from New York, New Jersey and Connecticut in compliance with the executive order he issued Monday.
