Travel heads up. You might have to quarantine when you get there

Some states are taking aim at travelers from the upper Midwest

Temps this weekend thank you for joining us for kimt news 3 at ten.

I'm george mallet.

While many of us are staying close to home during the pandemic ?

"* there may be just as many who are itching to get out of town.

If that's you, there's one thing you might want to check on before you head off to the airport or get in your car.

Kimt news 3's nick kruszalnicki joins us live to throw some cold water on your wanderlust.

Nick?

George there are several states requring travelers specifically from minnesota and iowa to go into a mandatory 14 day quarantine when they arrive.

It could really put a damper on your summer vacation plans.

Xxx "we're just mostly staying close to family and not doing too much of anything else."

For mary and molly street, a staycation instead of a vacation became the pandemic preference.

Cancelling out of state odysseys has become the norm.

That's what owatonna's molly neumann opted for.

"usually we do travel to branson missouri for a summer vacation and this year, no we didn't.

We can't go."

Neumann says because of the coronavirus, she doesn't feel comfortable mingling with people across state lines.

"staying in hotels is not something we're ready to do or try and going different places, we're just very, just not okay with that yet."

Many states are requiring a quarantine for out of state visitors, illinois is requiring that for travelers from iowa.

Both new york and new jersey are asking iowans and minnesotans to quarantine.

If you want fun in the sun, hawaii wouldn't be a good bet.

Visitors from the mainland all have to isolate.

Neumann doesn't view isolating during a summer trip as much fun.

"i wouldn't be going there because if you have to quarantine for fourteen days, i guess that would take the whole time that you had for a vacation."

Still, she understands and believes that's the best earlier today ?

"* i checked the website for air choice one, which offers flights from mason city to chicago.

It looks like they are still offering flights to the windy city... but if you are planning on going, you might be staying a while.

Live in mason city, nick kruszalnicki, kimt news 3./// thank you nick.

Niether minnesota nor iowa is requring visitors from other
