New York State: More Visitors Required in Quarantine Abroad

That has doubled since the publication of the first list of states a week ago. New York responds to the dramatic increase in corona infections in states such as California.

Florida and Texas were already on the list. Nearly half of the U.S. population lives in the sixteen states.

For a time, New York State was the epicenter of the corona pandemic, with 800 deaths and thousands of infections daily. However, the number of infections decreased considerably due to all kinds of measures. In other parts of the US, on the other hand, the number of infections is rising sharply, possibly due to a too rapid relaxation of the corona rules.

The U.S. government’s top infectious disease specialist, Anthony Fauci, expressed concern about the peaks in Florida, Texas, Arizona, and California. He said he fears a further rise in the number of daily infections in the US, from about 40,000 to 100,000 now.

Other U.S. health experts have criticized airlines looking to return to full capacity on Wednesday. American Airlines and United Airlines do warn their passengers that they can rebook their ticket if they prefer not to board a full plane. Some US representatives want airlines to be forced to leave seats empty.
