New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo warned select out-of-state travelers Monday that they may face a $2,000 fine if they fail to provide their contact information to officials when they arrive in the Big Apple.
“NY is issuing an emergency health order,” Cuomo tweeted. “Out-of-state travelers from designated high-COVID states must provide their contact information upon arrival. If you fail to provide it, you will receive a summons with a $2K fine. We’re serious about enforcing quarantine.”

Florida is among 19 other states on Cuomo’s list of “high-COVID” states where travelers may face fines. Other states include Alabama, Arkansas, Arizona, California, Delaware, Georgia, Iowa, Idaho, Kansas, Louisiana, Mississippi , North Carolina, Nevada, Oklahoma, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas and Utah.
The announcement underscores a high-profile back-and-forth feud between the New York Democrat Governor and Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis.
In late June, Governors from New York, Connecticut and New Jersey, imposed a 14-day quarantine requirement for travelers from Florida and other states where community spread runs rampant.

“Governors have prerogative to do what they need to do,” DeSantis said then of the looming quarantine order. “If that is done, please don’t quarantine Floridians in nursing homes in New York.”
Last week, Cuomo publicly offered to send a shipment of medical supplies to Florida to help COVID-19 patients.
“Whatever they need, Florida has said they might need assistance from us, whatever they need, we’ll provide,” Cuomo said.
When asked by Florida Politics, however, DeSantis downplayed the offer.
“They’re not helping us,” DeSantis said. “I think someone had reached out to our office about ventilators. We’ve got 6,000 ventilators just sitting idle.”
DeSantis went on to say “we don’t necessarily need it,” before returning to a familiar narrative about ways Florida outperformed New York in various areas during the crisis.
On Monday, state health officials tallied 12,624 new diagnoses, raising the state’s total to 282,435 people, including 278,667 Florida residents.

Another wily way to acquire money to repair the damaged state budget due to his liberal policies. They are desperate for money. He wants his state budget bailed out besides COVID expenses paid for by the Federal government. He wants to use the COVID crisis to get as much money from Washington as possible to clean up the fiscal mess in NY. He doesn’t know how to pay the bills even though he’s taxing NY residents up the arse. What a failure he is.

Good for you, Cuomo! You shouldn’t even let Floridians in. They’re spreading disease all over the country now. Wait until all the idiots coming to Disneyworld go home to their states with Covid. Unlike our moronic “governor,” some governors actually care about their residents and don’t live just to kiss the fake president’s ass.

Florida’s numbers were going down before the state opened again. It’s most likely all the tourists pouring into the state causing the numbers to soar. Maybe NY should fine their own residents for going to Florida.

Theoretically what would happen if a Floridian refused to pay it? I know that if it is a traffic ticket you could have your FL driver’s license suspended, but this wouldn’t be a traffic violation. Would it be considered a civil or criminal offense? Just curious…
