Coronavirus Watch: 3 states issue travel advisory

Headed to the New York tri-state area anytime soon? The governors of New York, New Jersey and Connecticut have announced a travel advisory requiring people coming from states with significant community spread to quarantine for 14 days.

The advisory goes into effect at midnight tonight, and those violating the mandatory quarantine would be fined, New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo said.

The travel advisory comes on the heels of one of the nation's largest single-day increases in coronavirus cases, as the U.S. reported nearly 35,000 new cases yesterday.

It's Wednesday, and this is the Coronavirus Watch from the Paste BN Network. Here's the most significant news of the day, as of 1:30 p.m. ET:

• The largest marathon in the world, the New York City Marathon, won't be happening this November, officials announced.

• Market update: U.S. stocks came under pressure Wednesday on worries over the prospects of a quick economic recovery after the International Monetary Fund projected the global recession will be worse than initially expected.

Americans with a bad case of wanderlust may have to wait until later this summer to vacation abroad – and while some countries have announced target dates to reopen, the pickings will be slim for a while. We're keeping this running list of when countries plan to reopen.

However, it's worth noting that the U.S. State Department and Centers for Disease Control and Prevention have not rescinded or downgraded their travel warnings. The State Department's global travel alert, first issued in March, is still in effect. For its part, the CDC still has its highest travel warning in effect for the United Kingdom, Ireland and most of Europe as well as China, Brazil and Iran. 

And remember, these U.S. states still require travelers to self-quarantine or present a negative COVID-19 test.
