Coronavirus rail

The governors of New York, New Jersey and Connecticut will advise travelers arriving from states with wide community spread of the virus to quarantine for 14 days, the three announced at a joint news conference. The new rules will apply to people from states with an infection rate of 10 per 100,000 people on a seven-day rolling average, or a 10% or greater positive test rate over a seven-day period, according to New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo. Nine states currently are in that group: Alabama, Arizona, Arkansas, Florida, North Carolina, South Carolina, Texas, Utah and Washington. Failure to quarantine in New York could result in thousand-dollar fines, Cuomo said. New Jersey and Connecticut officials said there were no enforcement mechanisms at the moment.

Dozens of Secret Service officers and agents who were on site for President Donald Trump's rally in Tulsa, Okla., last week were ordered to self-quarantine after two of their colleagues tested positive for the novel coronavirus, part of the fallout from Trump's insistence on holding the mass gathering over the objections of public health officials. The Secret Service instructed employees who worked the Tulsa event to stay at home for 14 days when they returned from the trip, according to two people familiar with the decision. The order came in the wake of the discovery Saturday that at least six advance staffers who helped organize the trip had tested positive for the virus, including two Secret Service employees. Another two advance staffers tested positive after Trump returned to Washington on Sunday.
