BUFFALO, N.Y. (WIVB) — Guam has been added to the New York travel advisory list, but five states are now off it.

Anyone who comes to New York from any of these states must stay in quarantine for 14 days. These states have positive test rates that are higher than 10 per 100,000 residents over a seven-day rolling average, or a positivity rate of at least 10 percent over a 7-day rolling average.
Gov. Cuomo previously issued an emergency order saying people who come to New York from states with high rates of infection must provide authorities with their contact information after arriving.
Cuomo says the order is in response to people not complying with the 14-day quarantine order for travelers.
The Governor says that if a traveler fails to provide their contact information, they’ll receive a summons with a $2,000 fine.
To file a report of an individual failing to adhere to the quarantine pursuant to the travel
advisory, please call 1-833-789-0470 or use the form on the Erie County Department of Health website.
