Fl executive order 14 day quarantine any person traveling from New York, New Jersey, Connecticut, and Louisiana

[Panina]

One of my timeshares in Florida sent me an email and this was in it.

“Travel: The governor of Florida created an executive order that requires any person traveling from New York, New Jersey, Connecticut, and Louisiana, to self-quarantine for 14 days at their designated destination in Florida. Florida is taking these travel restrictions very seriously. State officials are stopping travelers at the border and in airports to determine if you must self-quarantine. Travelers who are directed to self-quarantine must be available for follow up contact by the state and are subject to 60 days in jail for violations. Management is being asked to help enforce the quarantine. If you have a one-week reservation, information regarding where you will self-quarantine for the balance of the time will be required. “

Yes it's true. The only question mark I have is whether or not resort management is helping to enforce the quarantine. For anyone planning on visiting Florida most beaches are open and the water is clearer and cleaner than I have ever seen.
May 23 is the opening date for some timeshares.

Just another example of the USA's Keystone Cops approach to managing Covid-19. What is the gov'nor thinking? People from New York, New Jersey, Connecticut, and Louisiana are somehow "more contagious" than other people?

If anything, these areas have seen a higher rate of infection, so these areas are further down the path to "herd immunity" -- not that anywhere in the USA is very far down that path -- and people from these areas would have a slightly less chance for bring infection to Florida.

My husband's family lives in Montana. They are doing well.

No keystone cops approach. The governor determined the above states were evacuating to Florida and took appropriate actions. It has worked. By the way these rules went into effect March 23.

14 Day self -quarantine concept can work / read the link to the BBC article in the TUG thread on Vietnam and Covid 19 .( everyone entering or returning to Vietnam was taken directly to facilities to stay for a 14 period and also tested )

This pick and choose concept is more like building a Maginot Line AFTER the German army is already in France .
IMO / LOL

I believe it could work but limiting certain states has many holes. I am in SC and lets say without knowing I had contact with someone who had the virus that came to SC from NYC. I end up being asymptomatic. I go to Florida, I am not quarantined.

Thank you for posting as I was not aware Alaska had this in place .

It would probably be even better if those arriving from outside Alaska or returning were also all
tested . Testing all entering their state could also give Alaska a better idea of how long the policy of requiring
14 day quarantine should continue .
