MA Exempts 4 More States From Travel Order

Massachusetts is exempting four more states from its travel order, giving the green light to travelers from Colorado, Delaware, Pennsylvania and West Virginia. They will be exempt beginning Saturday.

The states join Connecticut, Maine, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York and Vermont on the exempt list.

Travelers coming or Massachusetts residents returning from those states don't have to fill out a travel form or choose between quarantining for two weeks or providing a recent negative COVID-19 test. People who do not comply are subjected to a $500 fine per day.

The 10 exempt states have satisfactorily low positive COVID-19 test rates per 100,000, the Massachusetts Department of Public Health said Friday.

Neighboring Rhode Island still is not on the exempt list.
