Violations of self-quarantine will be enforced, and may carry fines of $1,000 to $2,000, the mayor\u2019s office has said.<\/p>\n<p>Around the US, few jurisdictions have actually enforced quarantine and social distancing rules, though people have been killed in fights spurred by mandatory mask requirements. Some governors, including Kristi Noem in South Dakota, have refused to make wearing masks and other social distancing measures mandatory.<\/p>\n<p>But most governors who have imposed mandatory mask orders and other measures typically haven\u2019t enforced those measures by doling out fines, unlike authorities in Europe.<\/p>\n<p>According to anecdotal reports, travels through NYC\u2019s airports have had to complete contact tracing forms for weeks now. The city will continue to enforce those measures at both of the city\u2019s airports, as well as Grand Central and Penn Station, as well as the Port Authority bus terminal.<\/p>\n<p>Lines at NYC testing centers reached record numbers over the weekend, a sign that many New Yorkers still planned to travel, and were hoping to get tested before leaving.<\/p>\n<p>This is irritating many self-appointed COVID travel referees who chimed in to remind their followers that a negative COVID test\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2020\/11\/21\/upshot\/coronavirus-test-thanksgiving-plans.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">doesn\u2019t mean you can safely socialize with others<\/a>.
