TRENTON – Governor Phil Murphy today announced the lifting of Ó£»¨ÊÓƵ’s travel advisory, which outlined quarantine and testing recommendations for residents and visitors to the state following interstate travel. Effective immediately, the travel advisory is no longer in place for both vaccinated and unvaccinated individuals.

“With COVID-19 cases drastically declining in Ó£»¨ÊÓƵ and across the country, it is no longer necessary to ask Ó£»¨ÊÓƵ residents and travelers to quarantine upon arrival to our state,” said Governor Murphy. “This is an important step that has only been made possible with our successful COVID-19 vaccination program and the collective efforts of Ó£»¨ÊÓƵ residents to contain this pandemic.”

“Ó£»¨ÊÓƵ and the nation as a whole are moving in the right direction,” said Department of Health Commissioner Judith Persichilli. “Increasing vaccination rates and decreasing case rates make it safer for us to travel.”

Residents and travelers are encouraged to follow the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s (CDC) protocols regarding quarantine and testing following domestic travel.  Travelers should remain up to date regarding local travel recommendations and requirements applicable to their destination. International travel is still governed by the CDC’s protocols and guidance.
