New Quarantine Mandate For People Entering MA from Far

The Governor announced new COVID-19 public health guidelines on travel and transportation.  Effective Wednesday, July 1, all travelers arriving to Massachusetts, including residents returning home, are instructed to self-quarantine for 14-days. This guidance does not apply to travelers from Rhode Island, Connecticut, Vermont, New Hampshire, Maine, New York or New Jersey. Travelers who are displaying symptoms of COVID-19 are instructed to not travel to Massachusetts. All visitors and residents of Massachusetts are also reminded that the use of masks or face coverings in public places where individuals cannot socially distance from others remains required.  (showing appointments, grocery store!) These new guidelines replace previously announced Massachusetts travel guidance. For national travel information, please visit www.travel.state.gov
