"We are very strong on people not leaving, especially certain states, and going to other states where they have less of a problem," Trump said at his daily press conference."You are hearing constantly about people leaving New York and going down to Florida, and New York is obviously a hotspot." In the past, Trump has played down the need for nationwide travel restrictions, but he indicated Friday that he doesn't object to the actions of particular states.
In one of the most aggressive actions, Rhode Island Gov. Gina Raimondo said Friday that she will order the state National Guard to go door-to-door in coastal towns starting this weekend to look for recently arrived people from New York. They will then inform visitors of the quarantine order.In addition, Rhode Island's state police have been pulling over motorists whose cars have New York license plates. Their contact information is collected and they are informed of the quarantine.
Governors in Texas, Florida, Maryland and South Carolina this week ordered people arriving from the New York area – including New Jersey and Connecticut – and other virus hot spots to self-quarantine for at least 14 days upon arrival.
