WESTERLY, RI (AP) — The Rhode Island National Guard started going door to door on Saturday in coastal areas to inform any New Yorkers who may have come to the state that they must self-quarantine for 14 days while Gov. Gina Raimondo expanded the mandatory self-quarantine to anyone visiting the state.
Raimondo
also ordered residents to stay at home, with exceptions for getting
food, medicines or going to the doctor, and ordered nonessential retail
businesses to close Monday until April 13 to help stop the spread of the
coronavirus. She also directed realtors and hotel operators to include
new requirements that any out-of-state residents must quarantine for 14
days in their purchase agreements.
State
Police set up a checkpoint on I-95 in Hope Valley on Friday where
drivers with New York license plates must stop and provide contact
information and were told to self-quarantine for two weeks, WPRI.com
reported.
