This sounds ominous. Any other info you can share? That is such a scary feeling - a violation of freedom.

I should have taken pictures to post here - I can't find images online of what I saw. The form says that I will be contacted - I will follow up to this thread if they contact me.

While neighboring state travelers are exempt from the travel advisory, others are expected to “obtain a test within three days of departure, prior to arrival in New York,” quarantine for three days, and obtain another coronavirus test on the fourth day.

“If both tests comes back negative, the traveler may exit quarantine early upon receipt of the second negative diagnostic test,” according to the state’s travel advisory.

Fucito warned that “there will be consequences” for violating the 14-day travel quarantine.

“Violation of a self-quarantine travel regulation may result in deputy sheriffs serving you a mandatory quarantine order issued by the Health Commissioner. In cases of violation, Deputies could serve you with a civil summons that carries a $1,000 fine,” he said, although he emphasized that officers will be focusing primarily on large gatherings

Not sure where the military came into play. Could it have been police in camo? Or NY State Guard?

I wrote "Army" because I remember seeing "Army" written on the front of the uniform. It is possible that I remembered incorrectly. When I google "NY State Guard" the uniform looks similar, except I am pretty sure the person I spoke to was wearing a camo hat, whereas the NY State Guard people seem to wear solid color hats. Members of the army wear camo hats.
