AUSTIN (WBAP/KLIF) – Texas Governor Greg Abbott issued an Executive Order Sunday expanding mandated quarantined for people traveling to Texas from areas with a high volume of COVID-19 cases.
The self-quarantine procedure will mirror the process outlined in the Governor’s previous Executive Order requiring mandatory self-quarantine for air travelers from the New York Tri-State Area and New Orleans, Louisiana. This mandated quarantine will not apply to travel related to commercial activity, military service, emergency response, health response, or critical infrastructure functions.
The Executive Order now includes air travelers arriving from the following states and cities:
- California
- Louisiana
- Washington
- Atlanta, Georgia
- Chicago, Illinois
- Detroit, Michigan
- Miami, Florida
