New York City orders quarantine for all travelers from UK
New York City has introduced quarantine rules for international travellers following emergence of new COVID variants in countries like the UK.
Mayor Bill De Blasio said all visitors would be ordered to stay for 14 days at the address they provided on arrival.
He said anyone arriving from the UK would be visited by sheriff’s deputies to ensure they abide by the rules.
Mr De Blasio warned that anyone who breach rules will be fined 1,000 dollars
New York City was at the epicentre of America’s coronavirus outbreak earlier this year, and has again become one of the country’s worst-affected states.
