NEW YORK (1010 WINS) -- Gov. Andrew Cuomo said Friday that he was increasing the National Guard at New York airports to make sure travelers were tested for COVID-19 before arriving in the state.
"For the holiday weekend travel period, we're going to be increasing enforcement personnel at the New York airports," Cuomo said during a call with reporters. "You should not land if you do not have proof of a negative test upon landing."
"You're supposed to take a test where you're coming from, and within three days, and it was supposed to show a negative test," he added.
Cuomo said he was increasing the National Guard's presence and had spoken with Mayor Bill de Blasio about increasing the NYPD at the city's airports.
"I want people to know we're serious," the governor said.
