New York is adding Delaware, Oklahoma, and Kansas to its travel quarantine list as the coronavirus pandemic continues to surge across the country. 

The quarantine policy put in place by New York and neighboring Connecticut and New Jersey requires travelers to self-isolate for 14 days after traveling from states with a positive test rate of 10 per 100,000 residents over a seven-day rolling average or a 10 percent or higher positivity rate during that same time. 

The additions to the quarantine list come as New York's cases have fallen to around 1 percent out of the thousands of tests conducted daily. Out of 56,736 tests conducted, 588 positive cases were found in New York, a rate of 1.04 percent. There are 836 hospitalizations due to the virus, a slight increase of 19 patients from the previous day.

There are now 19 states on New York's quarantine list, including the largest by population in the country, California, Florida, and Texas.

"As states around the country experience increasing community spread, New York is taking action to ensure the continued safety of our phased reopening. Our entire response to this pandemic has been by the numbers, and we've set metrics for community spread just as we set metrics for everything," Gov. Andrew Cuomo said. "Three more states have now reached the level of spread required to qualify for New York's travel advisory. We will now require individuals coming from Delaware, Kansas and Oklahoma to quarantine for 14 days. New Yorkers did the impossible - we went from the worst infection rate in the United States to one of the best - and the last thing we need is to see another spike of COVID-19."
