BOSTON (WHDH) - The Massachusetts Department of Public Health on Friday removed four states from its “high-risk” travel list.
Travelers coming to the Bay State from Colorado, Delaware, Pennsylvania, and West Virginia will no longer have to quarantine for two weeks upon arrival or produce a negative COVID-19 test.
Other states that Massachusetts have deemed “low-risk” include Connecticut, Maine, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, and Vermont.
Under Gov. Charlie Baker’s travel order, people visiting from all other states must self-isolate for 14 days or provide a negative test that is no more than 3-days-old. The order also applies to Massachusetts residents who are returning to the state.
Violators could face a fine of up to $500 a day.
Visitors passing through Massachusetts or coming in for work are exempt from the order.
