Presidents and chancellors

We have gotten several inquiries about quarantines after visiting other countries or other states.  Below is the guidance on travel from other countries.  As far as we can tell there is no quarantine requirement for travel from other states.

Hope this helps.

The Governor's office asked me to share CDC guidance on international arrivals.  This would certainly be part of the "federal, state and local guidance" that the recent proclamation and  reopening guide.

There is federal (CDC) guidance on a 2-week quarantine for arriving international passengers:

You may be screened when you arrive in the United States. After your arrival, take the following steps to protect yourself and others:

  1.  Stay at home and avoid contact with others. Do not go to work or school for 14 days.
  2.  Monitor your health for 14 days. Take your temperature with a thermometer two times a day and monitor for fever. Also watch for cough or trouble breathing.
  3.  Keep your distance from others (at least 6 feet or 2 meters). This is referred to as "social distancing."
