Domestic travelers will no longer be required to quarantine after entering New York from another U.S. State or U.S. Territory starting April 1st. While no longer required, the NYS Department of Health still recommends quarantine after domestic travel as an added precaution.

But if DCA (or DC) is just a stopover from a state on the restricted list, you don't get a "get out of quarantine free" card for visiting New York.

Has anyone flown into NY from a restricted state very recently? What's the procedure? They just check if you filled out the form?
How do they actually enforce if someone is quarantined 14 days after arriving or not?

And what statute comes into effect? The mayor is imposing felony level punishment without due process and violating the 4th amendment to the US Constitution.

2) From the executive order linked from the wikipost of the NYC COVID-19 thread:
https://www.governor.ny.gov/news/no-...iving-new-york
Any violation of a quarantine or isolation order issued to an individual pursuant to the Commissioner of the Department of Health's travel advisory by a local department of health or state department of health may be enforced pursuant to article 21 of the public health law, and non-compliance may additionally be deemed a violation pursuant to section 12 of the public health law subject to a civil penalty of up to $10,000.

The Mayor just signed an Executive Order 10:20a 8/18 requiring all Hotels and short term rentals to collect the quarantine form BEFORE allowing access to the room for anyone from the listed quarantine states.
I'm sure it will be in the news in a few minutes.

I've been to Boston a couple of times during COVID and the hotels there also had a form you had to sign at the front desk declaring you were an essential worker or some other such reason for staying at the hotel. But nobody ever checked up on it or asked to see any work ID.

Any updates on this? I'm a physician (essential worker) from a quarantined state that will need to visit a close family member in a few weeks. To simplify the process, I am thinking of taking a morning flight in and leaving that same evening, which would mean <12 hours in NYC, not going to public places, not having to deal with hotels. My understanding is that this would be acceptable with all the current regulations?

Exemptions for Essential Workers
Exceptions to the travel advisory are permitted for essential workers and are limited based on the duration of time in designated states, as well as the intended duration of time in New York. The Commissioner of Health may additionally grant an exemption to the travel advisory based upon extraordinary circumstances, which do not warrant quarantine, but may be subject to the terms and conditions applied to essential workers or terms and conditions otherwise imposed by the Commissioner in the interest of public health.
Short Term – for essential workers traveling to New York State for a period of less than 12 hours.

Next month, I would be flying DCA-LGA-XXX onboard AA.
DCA is located in Virginia and is on the NY quarantine list.
My layover in LGA is shorter than an hour, would I be obliged to fill out the NY state quarantine form?
If there is an officer at the gate after arriving at LGA, I would have my onward boarding pass to another state to show him.
Edit: Corrected some statements above
