We are starting to see mandatory 2 week quarantine orders for interstate travelers, in this case it is anyone from Louisiana, or some other states arriving in Florida (it is less than a 3 hour drive from New Orleans to the Florida state line, more like 2 hours state line to state line across the narrow sections of coastal Mississippi and Alabama). Penalty of 60 days in jail for not obeying.

If this trend continues it could really shut down travel around the country, imagine a coast to coast trip with a 2 week quarantine at each state you enter, we are starting to look at Oregon trail like speeds for a transcontinental trip.
p.s. note this order applies to everyone arriving from Louisiana, not just those from the hard hit New Orleans area. So I guess I will not be going to my ex-wife's wedding in Florida next month, as I live on the west side of Louisiana almost to Texas (a 5 hour drive from New Orleans)
