The governors of New York, New Jersey and Connecticut, once at the epicenter of the U.S. coronavirus outbreak, announced that visitors from states with high infection rates must self-quarantine for 14 days on arrival
The announcement on Wednesday came a day after the country recorded the second-largest increase in novel coronavirus cases since the health crisis began in early March. There were nearly 36,000 new infections nationwide on Tuesday, according to a Reuters tally.
While the United States appeared to have curbed the outbreak in May, leading many states to lift restrictions on social and economic activity, the virus is moving into rural areas and other places that it had not initially penetrated deeply. With little federal guidance and decisions largely left to local officials and businesses, however, the pace of reopening in the rest of the country continues to look like a patchwork.

Hawaii requires visitors from the U.S. mainland to self-quarantine for two weeks. Florida and Texas at one point required people coming in from New York area airports to quarantine for two weeks.
