If you are going to NYC you can't meet with business partners straight away, NY/NJ/CT require you to quarantine (just like when you arrive in India): https://coronavirus.health.ny.gov/co...ravel-advisory
apparently the self quarantine doesn't apply for international travel from india because for some strange reason usa doesn't consider india a red zone....

there are some aspects of the arbitration that can't be held via online conference....cross examination of a witness being one of them....so the arbitrator is unwilling to hold any part of the hearing online because he claims that if we are required to gather for one part of the hearing then we may as well hold the hearing over the course of a few days & finish it off....
