“Everyone who was in New York should be self-quarantined for the next 14 days to ensure the virus doesn't spread to others, no matter where they have gone,” the White House coronavirus task force coordinator Deborah Birx said today
Anyone who recently traveled from the New York City metro area should self-quarantine for 14 days from the time they left due to the high coronavirus infection rate in the city, members of the White House Coronavirus Task Force said Tuesday.
It is critical people adhere to the federal government's request so New York City does not become “another seeding point” for the rest of the country, said Anthony Fauci, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases.

Over 2,200 people are hospitalized, including at least 525 in intensive care units.
