Anyone traveling to Vermont for leaf season?

Anyone traveling to Vermont? Are there covid restrictions?

  • I was once told by a former RV club member to which we were members of that " Figures don't lie, but liars can figure".
  • They give the sources for the data: John Hopkins University and the New York Department of Health. The map is updated weekly, so things may well (probably will) change around some by the time foliage season peaks. It does make planning in advance quite difficult--both for those traveling into the state and for those in the state desiring to travel elsewhere, since the quarantine requirements naturally also apply to returning residents.

    They base it on a per million ratio, which puts the number above what they want.


    The website says it's "estimated" cases so it seems somewhat arbitrary. Their state, their rules I guess.

    It’s pretty easy for us with a population of 100000. Take 20 times 10. I don’t know where they obtain their figures but in our case they are wrong.

  • I don't need to travel to Vermont for the foliage; I'm already here. :B

    There are self-quarantine requirements for travelers coming from many areas. See this link for details. If you're from a county in the northeast where the infection rate is sufficiently low, no quarantine is required; there's a map of which counties meet this requirement that's updated weekly.
