Coronavirus: New York City orders international visitors to quarantine
BBC News ^ | December 24, 2020

Posted on 12/24/2020 1:25:35 AM PST by Oldeconomybuyer

New York City has introduced quarantine rules for international travellers following emergence of new Covid variants in countries like the UK.

Mayor Bill de Blasio said all visitors would be ordered to stay for 14 days at the address they provided on arrival.

He said anyone arriving from the UK would be visited by sheriff's deputies to ensure they abide by the rules.

Those who breach them will be fined $1,000 (£737) a day, Mr de Blasio warned.

In a statement, Mayor de Blasio said all inbound international travellers must provide their contact details.

"We are really serious about the fact that if you violate quarantine you're creating a danger for everyone else," said Mr de Blasio.

"We are in the final battle here, all we have to do is get through these holidays," he added.

The good news is that officials are providing free transportation.

There is also no "New Deadly Strain of COVID That Is Hitting Just The UK!"

That's another Plandemic lie.

The Globalists are punishing the UK for Brexit, and also using this lie to pressure the UK into accepting their trade terms.

UK-EU nearing possible Brexit trade deal, with announcement expected Thursday

And when they aren’t there? How do you know they didn’t go visit some other state? New York cannot enforce this. What would happen if Texas instituted rules for Saudis based on risk to the public?

“Mayor Bill de Blasio said all visitors would be ordered to stay for 14 days at the address they provided on arrival.“

Provided when? To who? They cannot enforce international travel rules they made for one state. Morons.
