| Gov. Greg Abbott Issues Mandatory 14-Day Quarantine For Travelers Crossing Louisiana-Texas Border |
| 2020-03-30 |
| [Federalist] Texas Gov. Greg Abbott (R) issued an executive order Sunday, requiring anyone traveling into Texas from Louisiana and other states to be self-quarantined for 14 days in an effort to combat the spread of the Wuhan coronavirus. Texas state troopers will stop motorists traveling from Louisiana into Texas, requiring them to provide a designated quarantine location within the state. If travelers exhibit any symptoms of coronavirus, state troopers will escort them to their designated quarantine location. "DPS Special Agents will conduct unannounced visits to designated quarantine locations to verify compliance by confirming the physical presence of covered persons," the executive order reads. However, commercial activity, emergency response, and critical infrastructure responsibilities between states are exempt and will function as normal. |

If travelers exhibit any symptoms of coronavirus, state troopers will escort them to their designated quarantine location. Reads like they will just send you home. I think you should try it. Ah'l hold your beer. |
