Rhode Island police have begun stopping cars with New York license plates, and the National Guard will soon help officials conduct house-to-house searches to force anyone who has traveled from New York to enter isolation.
“Right now we have a pinpointed risk,” Gov. Gina Raimondo (D) said, according to Bloomberg. “That risk is called New York City.”
Raimondo on Thursday issued an executive order enforceable by law mandating that anyone who has traveled to New York via any form of transportation must enter into a two-week self-quarantine.
The order applies to anyone who has been in New York within the past two weeks and will remain in place until at least April 25. The order, however, does not apply to public health, public safety or health care workers.
Raimondo announced on Friday that members of the National Guard will be present at T.F. Green Airport, train stations and bus stops to collect contact information for the state health department “so they can keep track of who you may have been in contact with.”
National Guard soldiers will then follow up with people at their local residences to ensure they are following through with self-quarantine orders.
Authorities will also be checking towns where many New Yorkers are known to have summer homes, according to the governor.

Uh, NYC is not a “pinpoint”, it’s Yuge.
Black market license plate stealing operations projected ahead.
“Welcome to Rhode Island”
Your papers please...
I am from Syracuse, you fooken idiot. Farther away from NYC than Rhode Island.
Hold on, let me get my First Sergeant...
In addition to having vehicles with legal plates from two different States, I have a collection of old plates that could be put in use, James Bond style....
next the firing squads.
Lock ‘em up. If they look anything like Cankles, please return to Rikers.
Is this real? The video is misleading. The video made it sound like the National Guard is going door to door to hunt down people from New York.
Reading the article they going to the location the person is in self quarantine to verified the person is in self quarantine.
Still a little scifi / unreal.
“Al Qaida....”
Funny.
Never surrender your rights.
Tell them to get a warrant
Contact a lawyer.
Tell them to piss off if they think that they can come in without a warrant.
This is a test people.
Do you want to pass or fail?
Our Federal Republic rests in your hands.
Soon, more people will die from lead poisoning than the virus.
Shot through the heart
And you’re to blame
You give quarantine
A bad name, bad name...
NYS license plates, stay out, illegal aliens, welcome.
seriously, how do you get an extra license?
The states around Philadelphia, Chicago, New Orleans, Los Angeles, and San Francisco had better consider the same enforcement. Their democrat leadership are all for spreading their self-made problems to the rest of us who have done all of the right things. They want the economy of the country to tank.
