Starting Saturday, Massachusetts will begin requiring people arriving in the state of Vermont to remain in quarantine for two weeks, the Department of Public Health said.

He leaves Hawaii as the only state that Massachusetts considers a risk low enough to travel without quarantine.

The change takes effect Saturday morning after midnight. Travelers who do not meet any of the exceptions will be required to self-quarantine for two weeks or show they have tested negative for COVID-19 within three days of arriving in Massachusetts.

To be included on Massachusetts’ list of low-risk states for travel, the state must have less than 10 average daily cases per 100,000 population.

Travelers from states not on the low-risk list must complete the Massachusetts Travel Form and quarantine for 14 days, according to state guidelines. This includes anyone who is from one of the low-risk states but has been “for more than a transitional period in the last 14 days” in a higher-risk state.

Some clinical trial scams may even cost you hundreds or thousands of dollars to participate.

There are some exemptions, including for people going to high-risk states just to commute or go to school. See the full order, which includes the exemptions, here.

Last week, New Hampshire and Maine were removed from the list of low-risk states, adding the quarantine requirement for travelers from those states. They joined New York, Washington State, Washington, DC, Connecticut, New Jersey and California as states delisted last month.
