Those looking to vacation across New England this summer face a patchwork of travel restrictions and quarantine policies, even as the COVID-19 pandemic slows in the Northeast.
You can vacation in Vermont’s Green Mountains without a quarantine and COVID-19 test if you live in Windham County, Connecticut — but not if you live in Tolland County, Connecticut.
Staying at a New Hampshire hotel requires signing a document that you have completed a two-week quarantine period, though no compliance forms are needed at hotels in Massachusetts.
You can head east to Rhode Island to visit the shoreline without quarantining, but if you drive north to the Maine coast, you will need to demonstrate that you have quarantined or received a negative COVID-19 result.
Mike Pieciak, the commissioner of the Vermont Department of Financial Regulation, said that the variance in state restrictions is largely a result of the federal government’s lack of broad regulations during the pandemic.
