Governors Andrew Cuomo of New York, Phil Murphy
of New Jersey and Ned Lamont of Connecticut announced a joint
travel advisory Wednesday that would force those "traveling from
states with significant community spread" of COVID-19 to isolate
for two weeks.
Cuomo said that players from the Yankees and Mets returning to
New York from their teams' facilities in Florida are not subject
to the quarantine, which would have forced many to miss the
scheduled reporting date of July 1.
"The Mets and Yankees have been in touch with Governor Cuomo's
office today and will work with the NY State Health Department
on a continuing basis to coordinate the return of players from
Florida to train in New York next week," read a joint statement
Wednesday from the Mets and Yankees. "Our two teams, as well as
the State Health Commissioner, will work under Major League
Baseball's protocols and guidelines. We are all excited to bring
baseball back to New York. Thank you, Governor Cuomo."
Cuomo said health protocols have been worked out with both teams
to ensure safe travel despite the recent surge of coronavirus
cases in Florida.
