Residents of neighboring Rhode Island no longer have to comply with a two-week quarantine rule when they enter Connecticut. The state was removed on Tuesday from the list of states affected by a travel advisory that’s supposed to help stop the spread of the new coronavirus.

Rhode Island, Alaska, New Mexico and Ohio were all removed from the list of states with relatively high rates of COVID-19 infections on Tuesday. Meanwhile, Hawaii, South Dakota and the Virgin Islands were added, for a total of 32 states and two territories. The travel advisory also applies to those entering New York and New Jersey.

States that appear on the travel advisory list have either a new daily positive test rate higher than 10 per 100,000 residents or a 10 percent or higher positivity rate over a 7-day rolling average. In Connecticut, travelers from those states must also fill out a health form to provide state officials with information on where they are staying in case contract tracing becomes necessary.

The advisory applies to Connecticut residents returning home from the affected states. On Monday, Democratic Gov. Ned Lamont announced the Connecticut Department of Public Health had issued its first $1,000 fines against two individuals from Connecticut who had flown back from Florida and Louisiana and failed to fill out the health form. One was fined twice because the person also didn’t quarantine.

The news could be a benefit to operators of short-term rentals along the Long Island Sound shoreline, which have reported seeing an uptick in interest from out-of-state and in-state tourists.

Also Tuesday, there were no new COVID-associated deaths reported. To date, 4,444 people have died from COVID-19 in Connecticut. State data show there were 117 new cases since Monday out of 8,338 new tests. The number of hospitalizations increased by six patients, to 70 individuals in total.
