I never could get a straight answer on that.

If you are going to all sorts of stores, can't you be spreading the virus?


Quarantine means staying at home (or in place) for the specified period. Unfortunately the word quarantine has been used for the "stay at home" orders, which mean you can go out for necessities. Two very different things.



So, "Stay at Home", was just go out for necessities, be careful and return home.

Now people who are traveling home, after spending the winter in Florida, regulations says that one should quarantine for 2 weeks, which means stay at home, period.
I know so many people not doing that.

This whole travel issue is going to be very confusing. I don't see how stopping people from going into another country with a test will work.
No one knows if they will come down with it a week later or just be carriers. I can understand why people want to close their borders until things are much better.
I know SW Connecticut had a terrible spread from the people out of NY.

Sorry, hope this makes a little more sense.
