On March 23, 2020, Governor John Bel Edwards issued a stay-at-home order to residents of Louisiana to help stop the spread of the Coronavirus (COVID-19). Only days later, governors from other states issued mandatory self-quarantine orders to those traveling to their states from Louisiana.
Currently, the self-quarantine orders are in place in several states for people traveling from Louisiana in an attempt to help prevent the spread of the Coronavirus (COVID-19).
In Texas, travelers who arrive from Louisiana must self-quarantine for 14 days after arriving. Previously this only affected people flying into Texas from New Orleans, but has been updated to include anyone traveling into Texas from Louisiana.
