New York state on Tuesday added Hawaii, South Dakota and the Virgin Islands to its coronavirus travel advisory list and removed Alaska, New Mexico, Ohio and Rhode Island.

Under Gov. Andrew Cuomo’s order, those traveling to New York, New Jersey or Connecticut from COVID-19 hotspots must self-quarantine for two weeks upon arrival. The order now impacts 31 states and two U.S. territories.

The additions to the advisory are the first to come within two weeks of Aug. 24, the start of Syracuse University’s fall semester.

If a students’ state is added to the travel advisory less than two weeks before their scheduled move-in day, they can start classes for the fall semester online and transition to in-person courses once they complete the 14-day quarantine.
