BREAKING: Checkpoints will be set up at New York City's tunnels and bridges to trace travelers from 35 COVID hotspot states and enforce 14-day quarantine - and anyone who flouts it risks a $10,000 fine

New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio is implementing checkpoints to stop people entering the city from any of the 35 states that are on Cuomo's mandatory quarantine list and take down their details to enforce it.

Anyone who is caught flouting the rules faces a $10,000 fine.

The rule goes into effect starting Thursday August 6.

De Blasio announced the new rule at a press conference on Wednesday morning but he failed to specifically explain how it would be enforced.

Currently, anyone who enters the state of New York from any of the 35 lists is expected to quarantine for two weeks or risk fines of $2,000 and upwards.
