[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]MD's governor admitted the other day that the quarantine for out of state visitors was advisory, not mandatory.

I'm not sure how much a quarantine can be enforced in Maine. It may be advisory only rather than legally mandated. [/quote]

In Maine, it's an executive order enforceable by a $1000 fine or up to 6 months in jail: https://www.maine.gov/governor/mills/sites/maine.gov.governor.mills/files/inline-files/EO%2034.pdf

The interpretation from https://www.maine.gov/dhhs/mecdc/infectious-disease/epi/airborne/coronavirus.shtml#travel is:
[b]What do I do if I'm traveling or returning to Maine from out of state?[/b]

It is mandated that all out-of-state travelers coming into Maine, as well as Maine residents returning to Maine, complete a 14-day quarantine upon arrival. This means:

You need to arrive with enough food for 14 days or arrange to have food delivered to you. You cannot go out to grocery stores.
    Stay at home. You cannot go out to public places.
    Avoid contact with others, especially those who are at high risk of severe COVID-19 illness.

There is no order to quarantine for people who make short trips back and forth across the border for work. Travel should be limited to essential trips.[/quote]

Given the breadth of the order and no carve out for grocery stores, which could be a convenient excuse if caught out, this wouldn’t be that hard to enforce of the state were so inclined.[/quote]
