I 95 Covid checkpoint entering FL?

[westie55]

How bad is the backup at the covid checkpoint on I 95 going into FL? I read that it is often closed. Are they stopping all cars or only those with tri state license plates? Is it only open certain times of day? Thanks for any current info!

AFAIK, all vehicles must pass through the check point. If you are not subject to the quarantine order, you would be directed back to the highway.

And if you are subject to quarantine? Where do they direct you?

Those subject to self quarantine will have to fill out a form which ask where they are staying while in FL and for how long. Most reports are they don't really check on anyone afterwards to ensure they are actually self quarantining.

Is there a lot of traffic at the checkpoint?

Is there a local news site or info page where I can find the most up to date information on the checkpoint? most searches just come up with old articles from 2-3 months ago and not very helpful for the current times. Does it get backed up alot? Is it open 24/7?

My wife just told me that when she drove through there yesterday that the checkpoint was gone.

Not getting my hopes up but this is a good indication of perhaps a necessary change or update to the EO soon. Glad to see this is closed, it was a waste of tax payer money for sure.

They should be checking people on the way out!
