Workers from impacted states traveling to Connecticut who work in critical infrastructure as designated by the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) are exempted from the quarantine advisory. CISA lists “highway and motor carrier” operations as a subset of the Transportation Systems Sector of critical infrastructure. Therefore, the workers in the trucking industry are exempt from this quarantine order.
