As indicated, individuals should leave the place of self-quarantine — their hotel room in your example — only to seek medical care\/treatment or to obtain food and other essential items,\u201d Harvey said in an email.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
Staying in the hotel room may not necessarily be a major issue for Main Event competitors, provided the Internet signal is strong. WSOP organizers expect the first day of online play to last about 12 hours, starting at 3 pm ET\/noon PT. Second-day action will start at the same time and continue until the field is whittled down to nine players.<\/p>\n

What States are on New Jersey’s List?<\/h2>\n
The states and territories on New Jersey\u2019s advisory can change on a weekly basis. States are placed on the list when they have either a seven-day rolling average positivity rate of 10 percent or higher, or a seven-day rolling average number of daily new cases that exceeds 10 per 100,000 residents.<\/p>\n
As of Tuesday, 46 states and territories meet at least one of those criteria.<\/p>\n
\n
States and territories not on the list include Connecticut, Delaware, District of Columbia, Hawaii, New York, Pennsylvania, and the US Virgin Islands. New Jersey exempts its regional neighbors — Connecticut, Delaware, New York, and Pennsylvania — from the quarantine because of\u00a0 the heavy volume of traffic between the states. But the state still discourages nonessential travel within the region.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
In addition, those traveling to New Jersey for essential business purposes may receive an exemption from the quarantine request.<\/p>\n
As the advisory list is subject to change weekly, it\u2019s also possible New Jersey officials may decide to change the policy before the Main Event takes place. Connecticut, New Jersey, and New York initiated the 14-day advisory plan in June as part of their regional effort to keep COVID cases from rising.<\/p>\n
Earlier this month, New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo announced an alternative to the two-week self-quarantine guideline. The alternative calls for a traveler to test negative for the virus within three days before they depart for New York. They must quarantine for three days upon arrival and then take a second test in New York. If that test is negative, they are allowed to leave the quarantine<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
