Friends -- 43 states are now on the NY quarantine order list. Added to that both NJ and CT are above the threshold for new cases, meaning they SHOULD be on the list. However, given the massive number of commuters between NJ/NJ and CT/NY it's not practical at the time. The Governor is recommending all NON-ESSENTIAL travel between those states be lessened and eliminated if at all possible. It's quickly looking like NY could face serious decisions in the weeks ahead about opening and closing some services. Be Safe - Stay Home - Wear A Mask - 6Feet!
