Maine has some of the strictest travel restrictions in the country.

Maine has some of the country’s most strident travel restrictions in place. Individuals arriving from almost all states must self-quarantine for 14 days after arrival, unless they can provide a negative COVID-19 test result. To qualify, the test must be a Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) test and be taken within the last 72 hours (antigen or antibody tests are not accepted). The Maine Division of Disease Surveillance is strongly urging a “Know Before You Go” policy—meaning anyone planning to go to Maine should receive a PCR test for COVID-19 before leaving their home state. The few exceptions to the quarantine mandate are travelers from New York, New Jersey, Connecticut, New Hampshire, and Vermont.
Massachusetts
Anyone arriving in Massachusetts must self-quarantine for 14 days. Travelers from Rhode Island, Connecticut, Vermont, New Hampshire, Maine, New York, and New Jersey are exempt from the quarantine regulation, as are essential workers traveling to the state for professional purposes.
New Hampshire
New Hampshire officials are asking visitors from out of state to self-quarantine for 14 days upon arrival. Travelers coming to the state for stays at any lodging property are required to bring signed paperwork stating that they self-isolated at home for at least the previous 14 days before travel. (The rule covers hotels, motels, B&Bs, cabins, cottages, condominiums, and other short-term rentals.) These rules, however, do not apply to visitors from surrounding New England states, including Maine, Vermont, Massachusetts, Connecticut, and Rhode Island, who can visit New Hampshire without restrictions.
New Jersey
Anyone entering New Jersey—including permanent New Jersey residents—from a state with either a high infection rate (more than 10 per 100,000 residents over a seven day rolling average) or high positive test for COVID-19 (greater than 10 percent over a seven day rolling average) is advised a self-quarantine in either their home or hotel. An updated list of states at or exceeding one or both of those criteria is available on the state’s COVID-19 website. Business travelers and essential workers are exempt from the quarantine but should still adhere to social distancing and other mitigation guidelines from the CDC. New Jersey currently has a mask mandate in effect requiring all people to wear masks both inside and outside, including at places like beaches and boardwalks. Police may issue a summons to violators.
New York
New York requires anyone arriving from a state with either a high infection rate (more than 10 per 100,000 residents over a seven day rolling average) or high positive test for COVID-19 (greater than 10 percent over a seven day rolling average) to quarantine for 14 days. An updated list of states at or exceeding one or both of those criteria is available on New York’s health department website. Additionally, anyone entering New York from those states is required to fill out a traveler health form that includes information about where you will be staying, where you have been prior, and whether you have or have had any COVID-19 symptoms. Officers will be stationed at airports to collect forms, and anyone failing to fill out a form will be subject to a $2,000 fine. These mandates apply to residents as well. Those just passing through New York, or those who simply passed through one of the designated states, are exempt.
New Mexico
Anyone entering New Mexico, including permanent residents, must self-quarantine for 14 days or the duration of their trip, whichever is shorter. Essential workers, including healthcare workers, government workers, and airline employees, are exempt from the quarantine requirement. Those passing through the state are asked to only stop for essential activities like pumping gas or buying food. New Mexico also has a mask mandate in all public places unless a person is eating, drinking, or exercising. Anyone failing to comply with the mask mandate is subject to a $100 fine.
Pennsylvania
Anyone entering Pennsylvania from states deemed at-risk is advised to self-quarantine for 14 days upon arrival. An updated list of states considered at-risk is available on the state’s health department website.
