In order to further prevent the spread of the COVID-19, as countries around the world experience a second wave of cases, the Governor of New York signed an executive order establishing that international travelers entering from countries at levels 2 and 3 must quarantine upon arrival and fill out a passenger health form.

The requirement to quarantine upon arrival in New York took effect from 1 October in conjunction with the obligation to fill out the following form:

  1. Hello there. All the best. I will arrive in New York and immediately go to Connecticut. Do I have to fill out the form? How many days before should I do it?

  2. Hello there, I have a trip to NY arriving on 24 December in the morning and I'll only be there until 30 from December, visiting my family there, I must take a PCR test from Ecuador? how many days of quarantine to keep in NY?
    Upon returning to Ecuador if it is mandatory to take a PCR test in NY

  3. A query: My flight arrives at JFK Airport in New York City but I will immediately travel to New Jersey,

    Can I make that transfer, Or I can't move from NYC ?

  4. Hello there, The information you provide is very good.… the form indicates that a test should be done 4 days after arriving in NYC… The tests are at your own expense.? Where can they be made and what is the value for them??

  5. Hello, I have a trip planned for tomorrow from Mexico with my daughter., I already filled out the form but it doesn't give me an answer. It tells me that someone will contact me. If we just go for 6 days? we have to quarantine?

  6. Is there any update on this? I read that a few days ago they already allow you to present proof before and after arriving to avoid quarantine, this applies to international travelers? But, quarantine is MANDATORY or recommended?

  7. Hello, good evening, once the form is completed and it tells you that it is not necessary to quarantine, you still have to complete the 14 days in quarantine
    It will be mandatory to carry a PCR test in hand to enter the state of New York from Ecuador

      1. dear nicholas, thanks for your answers, in case of carrying a negative pcr test, I still have to quarantine?

        And in case of not bringing any proof, I can enter the country indicating the address where I will be to do my quarantine?
