However, many states across the country are experiencing a significant uptick in this data and we must remain vigilant to continue our progress against the virus.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The travel advisory applies to any person arriving from a state with a positive test rate higher than 10 per 100,000 residents or a state with a 10 percent or higher positivity rate over a 7-day rolling average.<\/p>\n<p>Travelers and those residents who are returning from impacted states \u201cshould self-quarantine at their home, hotel, or other temporary lodging,\u201d the governor\u2019s office said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIndividuals should leave the place of self-quarantine only to seek medical care\/treatment or to obtain food and other essential items,\u201d a statement continued.<\/p>\n<p>The quarantine order will not be enforced by highway or airport checkpoints, as was the case in Florida. Traffic stops of vehicles with out-of-state plates were also referenced by New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo. It does not appear that either of those measures will be taken in New Jersey.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cTravelers and residents returning from impacted states typically will not need to check-in with public health officials, unless otherwise they are involved in contract tracing efforts or required to do so by their employer or any other federal, state or local law or order,\u201d the statement from Murphy\u2019s office said. \u201cIt is expected that individuals will follow the public health advisory to self-quarantine.\u201d<\/p>\n<div class=\"fcbkbttn_buttons_block\" id=\"fcbkbttn_left\"><div class=\"fb-share-button fcbkbttn_large_button \" data-href=\"https:\/\/shorebeat.com\/tomsriver\/2020\/06\/n-j-extends-quarantine-order-to-travelers-from-16-states-as-coronavirus-spikes\/\" data-type=\"button_count\" data-size=\"large\"><\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>With coronavirus cases spiking in an increasing number of states across America, New Jersey Gov.
