Vanity- Does anyone know if Florida will still require a 14 day quarantine for travelers from NY/NJ area one the restaurants and beaches open?

Asking this because I want to take my family to Florida (Palm Beach County)soon but have not heard anything about the *quarantine*, even though Florida plans to open business on Monday 5/11 and the beaches (Palm Beach County) on 5/18

They have checkpoints, apparently, at least for those driving. Likely hotels have some kind of boilerplate for you to sign, too, and you lie at your legal peril.

"...If you are a conservative FReeper, then I would not go to Palm Beach county...."

I am a conservative Freeper, and I own a condo in Riviera Beach, Palm Beach County.

I go there as often as I can-

I can tell when someone is from metro NYC from the accent and the attitude—and I live in CT!

"...Still locked down to travelers from NY,NJ & LA. See website:..."

Thanks. I see that stuff posted a lot, and it's from late March.

I can't seem to find any updates in news articles.

"...I believe so, but...who is going to check on you? It is voluntary pretty much. We don’t have the ‘quarantine gestapo’ going around and checking....."

I had heard that LEOs were checking arrivals at PBI, but I don't know how accurate that is and to what effect..

NJ is a sh*t state. I don’t blame anyone for trashing NJ plated people. Yes,I am from NJ. I know NJ trash people. They will trash everywhere they occupy.

They greet the flights at the airport arriving from the tri-state area.

I know, they have trashed Virginia.

We don’t have the ‘quarantine gestapo’ going around and checking.

And the inverse of that is someone with a bad cough and snotty nose insisting they are not sick.

It will take something in the middle to make this work.

These days, I vacation at the Alabama Gulf Coast, which is beautiful.

But, when it comes to Florida, I prefer the panhandle. When I was a child, we would vacation at Fort Walton Beach.

Once, in the early 80’s, we went to Panama City.

IMO, the Alabama Coast and the Florida Panhandle are the best places to vacation. South Florida is too crowded for me.

How do they tell you’re from NJ\NY?

Most places the second they open their mouth you can tell. In the Yankee occupied portions of south Florida, perhaps not.

[libertylover]

How would they know? But don’t give it away by saying “yoose guys”, “fagitaboutit”, or mention standing ON line. :)
