Phil Scott on Monday ordered anyone arriving in the state to self-quarantine for 14 days to help slow the spread of the new coronavirus that causes COVID 19. The governor’s order applies to both Vermonters and out-of-staters arriving for anything other than “an essential purpose.” [Our COVID-19 tracker contains the most recent information on Maine cases by county] The governor took the additional action after federal guidance that advised residents of New York, New Jersey and Connecticut to refrain from non-essential domestic travel for 14 days. “We need everyone entering Vermont to be a good neighbor and abide by the self-isolation directive and then to follow afterward the stay-home, stay-safe order,” Scott said during his regular Monday briefing. He said the order does not apply to people who are going to the grocery store or who work across the border. For most people, the new coronavirus causes mild or moderate symptoms, such as fever and cough that clear up in two to three weeks.
