Gov. Andrew Cuomo took to Twitter to announce a new travel order, writing that individuals coming to New York from 19 states will have to self-quarantine for 14 days.
Those states are Alabama, Arizona, Arkansas, California, Delaware, Florida, Georgia, Iowa, Idaho, Kansas, Louisiana, Mississippi, North Carolina, Nevada, Oklahoma, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, and Utah.
However, Twitter swooped in to remind the governor that no one is interested in visiting New York, which, at the pandemic’s outset, became a hotspot for COVID-19 infections.
