AUSTIN (Nexstar) — Gov. Greg Abbott expanded quarantine orders for travelers heading into Texas on Sunday.
Any air traveler entering Texas from Miami, Atlanta, Detroit, Chicago, and the states of California and Washington must self-quarantine for 14 days, Abbott said.
His original order, which included air travel from New Orleans, now includes any road travel from people entering Texas from Louisiana.
On Thursday, he announced an executive order requiring a mandatory self-quarantine for air travelers arriving to Texas from airports in New York, New Jersey, Connecticut and New Orleans.
The Texas Department of Public Safety began administering the program Saturday at noon. Travelers must fill out DPS forms and be subject to follow-up check-ins from troopers. The quarantines are for 14 days, or the duration of the stay in Texas, whichever is shorter, Abbott said.
Violators face fines up to $1,000, up to 180 days in jail, “or both,” Abbott said.
“The New York tri-state area is the center of the coronavirus pandemic in the United States,” Abbott said Thursday, explaining the reasoning behind the order.
