Operative words

A 14-day self-quarantine is required for travelers entering Arkansas who have visited an international location or New York, New Jersey, Connecticut or New Orleans in the previous 14 days. In the interest of the public health, these travelers are required to quarantine for 14 days, starting from the date they departed that location. They are instructed to notify the Arkansas Department of Health of their entry or return to Arkansas... Remain at home or in another designated location and avoid all public activities. This means do not go to work, church, school, stores (including grocery stores), nor any public events or places.... Do not use any public transportation (buses, taxis, ride share services, or airplane).
