New York City opens new traveler checkpoints to register visitors and residents returning from nearly three dozen states who are required to quarantine for 14 days — an initiative that drew swift criticism from privacy advocates.

Authorities said this week a fifth of all new coronavirus cases in New York City have been from travelers entering the city from other states. The checkpoints don't involve the police, but the city's Sheriff's Office, which enforces civil law, said it would pull over motorists at random on city bridges.
“We’re not going to be in everyone’s apartment monitoring them,” de Blasio said. “Even if we’re not going to be able to reach every single person with a checkpoint, I think it’s going to help really get the message across." “Calling a law enforcement action a public health measure does not make it one,” said Donna Lieberman, executive director of the New York Civil Liberties Union. “We know that law enforcement should not have any role in contact tracing — it is ineffective and raises serious questions on inequitable enforcement and what information will be mandated.”
