President Biden has signed an executive order to self-quarantine upon arrival into the US from abroad. That’s in addition to new testing requirements that go into effect on 1/26.
US President Joe Biden calls upon Americans to "mask up for the next 100 days" saying it is a "patriotic act" to wear a face covering.
He adds all arrivals into the US will have to quarantine, as well as test negative before travelling.#COVID19 latest: https://t.co/QiklzK58UN pic.twitter.com/kF4TPqOQDX

President Biden is also making masks federally required on planes, trains, and buses, though masks were already required there anyway.
It’s unclear how the quarantine will work or how long it is supposed to last.
The biggest challenge for President Biden will be the enforcement. Many US states and cities have enacted quarantine requirements, but with no enforcement most people ignore the quarantine requirements.
For now, we have more questions than answers.
Do you think the US will enforce quarantine requirements?

I land on Saturday from abroad in NY. Can I travel to LA on Wednesday?
Only if you have a Chase Sapphire Preferred card!
Nope! you need sapphire reserved!
Nagative test before arrival should be more efficient than quarantine.
That will be required as well.
These PCR tests r crap. I took one when I had heavy symptoms and was neg. 2 days later when symptoms subsided I was positive
But it’s how it works. While having the first symptoms, the virus isn’t still detectable, that’s why they recommend testing after 3 days and prior to 7 days of the beginning of the symptoms.
Even Kary Mullis, the inventor of the PCR test, says that PCR tests should NOT be used to diagnose viral infections. Not it’s intended purpose.
Do u knw how long néw York needs to quarantine ??
Like everything else when it comes to politics as usual, there will be selective enforcement.
I don’t see how they can enforce it. The only way is post a guard outside of your house for 14 days straight making sure you stay inside, which they’re obviously not going to do.
GPS ankle bracelet 😉
But yes, this seems like it will be nearly impossible to enforce.
Why the hell ask for quarantine if you ask for negative covid test??
Same reason that Canada and Israel do?
two wrongs dont make a right but two wrights make an airplane
Israel starts asking for a negative Covid test for arrivals this Shabbos – never did before. Israel also exempts those who have recovered from corona, those have tested positive for antibodies, and those who had their second dose of the vaccine seven days or more before.
Israel also tracks cell phones for those who are supposed to be in quarantine.
Canada has had this quarantine requirement for nearly 10 months now. If you think about it, it’s actually pretty amazing how divergent the 2 countries have been with regards to travel into the country. In Canada, it’s enforced with multiple phone calls throughout the 14 days, as well as random spot checks to the listed location by officers, which have definitely been occurring. Sure, it’s still possible to ignore the requirements and most people won’t be caught- but the above enforcement is such that most people have been complying. The US could do something similar, although it would of course be on a larger scale.
It’s all ridiculous because at the end of the day Canadaian covid cases keep riding even after all the requirements and everyone complies so no one has a clue how this virus keeps spreading even after all these stringent rules.
I juts hope that it helps somewhat
Say What?
Canada has above 1/10 population size of the US, but only less than 1/20 corona deaths when compared to the US.
His feelings are facts. It’s not working in Canada, in the same way Canadian health care doesn’t work.
Israel having trouble enforcing it that’s why I through people into jail, I mean the Dan Panarama but then people complained so they stopped doing that. Although not there is talk that they will again. How on earth will Joe & Co enforce this. The only thing they can do is stop international flights from coming in which, of course, isn’t likely.
There was a riot in the Dan Panorama Wednesday night, and people arriving from Dubai (source of South African mutation) are refusing to go. Police took them by force last night.
Phone can be used to track.
But easy to get around.
Maybe in Israel not here well not legally at least.
I am amazed at how many people are seemingly okay with the government tracking healthy individuals and locking them in the homes. Shocking!
Not in the United States it can’t. Check out carpenter v the United States 585 US ___; 138 s. Ct. 2206 (2018). Israel has a central database of health records for every citizen. That was used in exchange for enough vaccines for the entire population.
@Aaron – When you get a fine as large as a yeshiva tuition bill then you’ll think twice. #WhistleblowerFee
The question is if you’ll be able to leave the country while in quarantine.
never will they enforce it. Its all just BIG TALK nothing more
the next four years is going to be “all talk no action”
Also known as NATO (no action talk only)
Without penalties and enforcement, a self-quarantine mandate is meaningless and won’t move the needle. Same with the masks.
Is this for arrival by plane only or by car as well?
Bro..
Yes?
Looks like he isn’t reimposing the ban on Europeans travelling to the US. This seems to be in its stead.
This is what interests me! Is this basically a politically correct way of opening up the country to anyone with a negative test?
The general question: Are executive actions placed upon all citizens legally enforceable, period?
It depends for what. The executive branch does have some powers. What’s interesting is the Dem governors overusing their emergency declarations to rule without the people’s will. 10+ months into this thing Murphy, Cuomo, & Company should have to get approval from the majority of the state legislature and not just rule on a whim.
Order away I’m sure all will heed the words of the great king Biden.
As you wrote in the post the Biden regime (note: a stolen election is called a regime not an administration) signed an executive order to wear masks in federal properties however this has been happening all along.
The US will not be enforcing quarantine. Do you really think Biden asking people to mask up for 100 days will actually change anything? I find it hard to believe anyone that didn’t wear until not would start from this. It is all a show to pretend Biden is fixing covid better then Trump when in fact the trump administration got vaccines in record time.
Your funny. Trump lost. He said his followers are losers and suckers. Negative test and self quarantine are great unless a person is selfish.
Who cares all politicians are the same. It’s all self interest.
I love how easily people mistaken freedom for selfishness.
If someone’s origin has less cases then his destination(as most people coming to America) what logic is there for him to quarantine?
Be kind and stay positive. Dan’s deal is the best.
A lot of what Joe is doing is silly. Masks in federal building? That’s been in force since the spring. Masks on trains and planes? That’s also been in force since the spring. He signed an executive order to open schools in 100 days but apparently it isn’t enforceable if a school district wants to keeps screwing kids that keeping schools close. So what exactly is he doing differently ??
He wears a mask when he says it!
Trump didn’t have an administration. He couldn’t even spell the word. That’s herd mentality. The pharmas developed the vaccines. Not the despicable president.
▲HERD MENTALITY?▲
Trump got rid of all the red tape to make the process faster. Of course he didn’t develop the vaccine. I don’t know of any politician that could develop a vaccine.
when does this go into effect??
Not for at least another two weeks.
The President is gearing up for building a record for 2024
If local States didn’t have demand power to enforce their own quarantine laws nationally especially with some states being very Republican it’s pretty much unenforceable
Is it possible that there will be an exemption for those vaccinated?
Not at this time.
Just shows how ridiculous the whole thing is. “Go take a vaccine to make herd immunity but nothing changes because your still a risk”.
I hear ya, but to be fair:
1. They’re still studying if vaccinated people can spread COVID. That seems like a long-shot, but it does need to be ruled out.
2. The vaccine is only ~95% effective even with 2 doses, so 5 in 100 people can still get it and spread it.
3. It wouldn’t be fair to have a vaccine bypass when it’s so hard for most Americans to get vaccinated.
Life isnt fair. As per studies done in Israel its 98% effective not 95 and Israel already ruled out #1
And where are these studies published…
I don’t have a link, but I live in Israel and they were published in all the newspapers.
That’s after the 2nd shot. After the first Israel (Israel has given it to a lot more people than Phizer did during their studies) has found much lower effectiveness than Phizer claimed after 1 shot. Even after 2 a lot of people in Israel have gotten it (like R Meir Lau). The thing 98% stat in israel is that 98% have very strong antibodies after 2 shots.
Correct.
Lets not forget Covid is 99.9% effective.
Dan,
If it’s 95% effective but 95% of the people can’t get it, the odds of the virus spreading are much lower than 5%.
Science is evolving and time hasn’t been there to answer this precisely
DOOFIS!!! IT’S NOT ABOUT THE VIRUS IT NEVER WAS
Is the testing requirement now moved up from the 26th? I’m returning the 24th.
Official text of the order:
“Policy. It is the policy of my Administration that, to the extent feasible,
travelers seeking to enter the United States from a foreign country shall be: required to produce proof of a recent negative COVID-19 test prior to entry; and
(ii) required to comply with other applicable CDC guidelines
concerning international travel, including recommended periods of self-
quarantine or self-isolation after entry into the United States.”
Pretty much a nothing burger.
It states to the “extent feasible” big loophole.
And you must comply with the CDC “recommendation” basically it’s not a law just a recommendation
Extent feasible also applies to the negative test requirement, but the CDC will force the airlines to require that to board. So it’s not a total weasel word, but I agree that quarantine as it is won’t be enforceable without major changes.
The quarantine requirements can affect foreign visitors staying less than 14 days, and will be much easier to enforce.
What about for those who have been vaccinated?
The text says that it’s according to the CDC guidelines, which are 14 day quarantine for those who have not tested positive and recovered in the last 3 months.
CDC changed quarantine requirements from 14 days to 10 days (or 7 days if you take a PCR test on days 5-7) back i Novemeber
How long is the quarantine
WE HAD ENOUGH OF THESE CONTROL HUNGERY PEOPLE. LET US LIVE LIKE A MENTCH!!
You are hungeryian?
+1
Coumo and his cohorts will need to go to rehab for control addiction.
Why is Chanukah 8 days if the miracle was only for 7 days?
Answer: because of covid-19.
It’s doesn’t make sense, big deal nothing else about covid19 makes sense.
This is step 1. Step 2 will be When people don’t comply, As part of the $1.9 trillion stimulus, he’s going to resolve the hotel industry’s money problems by putting every incoming passenger into a covid hotel on federal money for 2 weeks with food.
If you need a 5 star hotel room, call 311 in NYC and say you are scared of Covid-19. When I tested positive, the ‘test and trace corps’ called me every few hours, I decided to answer the first call (didn’t help, they kept calling) but in that call I was offered everything from a hotel room to food to a shrink and medical insurance. And just wait until Biden starts the money printing…
“Money printing” facts: Trump oversaw the fastest increase in the national debt of any president – that’s nearly 36% or $8.3 trillion dollars. The national debt now stands at over $27 trillion dollars. That’s despite Trump’s 2016 promises to “eliminate” the national debt in 8 years.
Somehow, someway, we have lost our way. Our discourse is terrible – just call people names, and shout others down and you “win”. And of course, deep down, we all know reality is something different altogether. I would suggest a good look in the mirror, my friend, and ask yourself if you are doing anything to make things better.
Hey, I didn’t said nuthin about Trump. I’m talking about NYC. I’m using them as an example of how some big programs which cost a lot of money don’t really accomplish what they claim to do. I did my part by answering the test and trace corps phone call, but even if someone can convince themselves that tracing is important, NYC does a terrible job if after answering all of their questions, the system didn’t even recognize that I had done so and I kept getting the same phone call over and over threatening me that I need to speak to call them or I will get a home visit… All the messages they left were exactly the same, just with different people.
As far as “deep down”, All Trump lovers know that deep down everyone else really supports Trump, and all Trump haters know that deep down everyone else really hates Trump.
Saul, to be clear, we all need to do better. Wherever we’ve arrived in our discourse in recent years is not a good place. I’d hope we can all agree on that. And that means we all need to do a little better. I also do not live in NYC. Obviously, this has been a difficult time in our country, and places like NYC have been tried the hardest. I sincerely wish you the best of health and success this year. Take care.
Joe doesn’t know what he had for breakfast.
Very sad, some of the moronic statements on this travel topic. We can thank Trump for the state of discourse, but we cannot blame him on the stupidity of some of these comments.
Is a negative test required if travelling from Canada by car?
Nope.
Question is if quarantine will be required.
Yes. You must quarantine in Canada even if you came by car.
If you’re going to visit family, “quarantine” with them. If you’re not staying the full 14 days, you just say something came up and leave. US will let you back in of you’re a citizen.
Why would anyone want to fly these days. At this point I would drive cross country rather than fly!
someone who can provide proof of recovery abroad will be exempt from quarantine?
C’MON MAN! THIS I ONE BIJ JOKE. EVEN SENILE JOE HIMSELF DIDN’T WEAR A MASK ON FEDERAL LAND
Please take your unappreciated politics over to FOX News pal. This is not the avenue for Trumpettes.

Freedom is selfish. The left has spoken
How is this not xenophobic and racist?
@Dan would a Rapid corona test work for being allowed into the US?
Yes
