(BOSTON) –Four states have been added to the list of those exempt from the Massachusetts Travel Order. Colorado, Delaware, Pennsylvania, and West Virginia were added over the weekend. Officials with the Massachusetts Department of Public Health says each of those four states’ Covid-19 positive test rates and cases per 100,000 residents have dropped enough for removal from the higher-risk state list. All New England states with the exception of Rhode Island are exempt, as are New York and New Jersey.
Travelers from states on the higher-risk list are required to fill out the Mass. Travel Form and quarantine for two weeks upon arrival or provide a negative COVID-19 test from the last 72 hours.
Violators are subject to a $500 fine.
