Governor Lamont signs 77th executive order to mitigate the spread of
COVID-19

Governor Lamont today signed another executive order - the 77th since he
enacted the emergency declarations - that builds upon his efforts to
encourage mitigation strategies that slow down transmission of the virus.
Executive Order No. 9I
<https://portal.ct.gov/-/media/Office-of-the-Governor/Executive-Orders/Lamon
t-Executive-Orders/Executive-Order-No-9I.pdf>  enacts the following
provisions:

*	Amendments to mandatory self-quarantine for travelers from states
with high COVID-19 levels: Makes slight revisions to the previously enacted
travel advisory, most notably the creation of an exemption for the nearby
states of New York, New Jersey, and Rhode Island from appearing on the list
of affected states from which travelers are required to self-quarantine.

Weekly update to the regional travel advisory: California, Massachusetts,
and Pennsylvania added to list; Rhode Island and New Jersey meet metrics but
will not be included

The regional travel advisory <https://portal.ct.gov/Coronavirus/travel>
between Connecticut, New Jersey, and New York that directs incoming
travelers from states with a significant community spread of COVID-19 to
self-quarantine for a 14-day period was updated today.

California, Massachusetts, and Pennsylvania have been added to the list of
impacted locations that meet the metrics to qualify.

New Jersey and Rhode Island meet the criteria for the travel advisory,
however given the interconnected nature of the region and mode of transport
between the states, they are not being included on the list of states
required for a mandatory quarantine. That said, Governor Lamont highly
discourages, to the extent practical, all nonessential travel to limit the
spread of COVID-19.

No other areas were removed from the list this week.

The requirement to quarantine applies to any person traveling into
Connecticut from a state with a  positive case rate higher than 10 per
100,000 residents, or higher than a 10 percent test positivity rate over a
7-day rolling average. It also applies to any person arriving into
Connecticut from a country for which the U.S. Centers for Disease Control
and Prevention has issued a Level 3 Travel Health Notice
