WNYT-Albany is reporting travelers entering New York from Arizona, Minnesota, Nevada, Rhode Island and Wyoming will now have to quarantine for 14 days. Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo September 22, added the five states to the state’s travel advisory. Cuomo did not remove any areas from the list. The updated travel advisory now includes: Alabama, Alaska, Arkansas, Arizona, Delaware, Florida, Georgia, Guam, Idaho. Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Minnesota, Missouri, Mississippi, Montana, North Carolina, North Dakota, Nebraska, Nevada, Oklahoma, Puerto Rico, Rhode Island, South Carolina, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, Virginia, Wisconsin, West Virginia and Wyoming. Cuomo also announced that New York has conducted 10 million COVID-19 diagnostic tests to date. Almost 84,000 tests were conducted on Monday, and fewer than 1 percent of those tests came back positive. In the Capital Region, the positivity rate dropped from 1 percent on September 20, to .5 percent September 22, the same day the U.S. death toll from the coronavirus topped 200,000. "It is completely unfathomable that we've reached this point," said Jennifer Nuzzo, a Johns Hopkins University public health researcher. The milestone, by far the highest confirmed virus death toll in the world, was reported by Johns Hopkins, based on figures supplied by state health authorities. The real toll is thought to be much higher. Read both stories at WNYT [dot] com.
