TAMPA, FLORIDA (WTSP) – For more than four months, travelers coming to Florida from the Tri-State Area – New York, New Jersey and Connecticut – have had to self-quarantine for 14 days upon entering the state.

Now, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis has issued an executive order rescinding the previous orders on those travel restrictions.

The executive order issued Aug. 5 includes two sections. The first updates and changes previous orders related to employee screening at restaurants during the pandemic.

The second section is short and does not spell out the cancellation of the travel restrictions, but rather says “Section 3 of Executive Order 20-139…is rescinded.”
