All out-of-state travelers are equal, but some out-of-state travelers are more equal than others.
If you're planning to travel to New York state get ready for a 14-day mandatory quarantine to make sure you're not infected with COVID 19.
That very important rule was put into place to save millions of people's lives. Of course.
But strangely the law doesn't apply to A-list celebrities traveling to New York for the MTV Video Music Awards.
Stars will have the privilege of skipping out on New York's 14-day quarantine mandate when they visit for the MTV Video Music Awards next week.
The awards, set for Aug. 30, will take on a different format this year as performances will be held outdoors with little to no audiences due to the ongoing coronavirus pandemic.
As the event usually serves as a who's who of the music biz, many celebrities will be in attendance, but will not be required to adhere to the 14-day quarantine rule put in place by Gov. Andrew Cuomo, according to the New York Post.
Instead, law enforcement will ensure that the stars and their teams are wearing masks and socially distancing.
“The Mayor’s Office of Media and Entertainment and Citywide Events is working in close coordination with the production to ensure guidelines are being followed,” a City Hall spokesperson told the outlet, also explaining that NYPD will be doing “compliance checks during the production.”
Cuomo's executive order could see violators serve up to 15 days in jail or pay up to $10,000.
