Anyone know what the rule is for someone traveling down to NC for five days and then returning to Jersey. My wife, kids, and I were planning on visiting family down there next week for a few days, would we have to quarantine when we return with this new rule? Or is it only for people who reside in NC that are coming here?
I’ve been looking it up online the past hour and can’t seem to find any answers.

United Airlines just suspended travel to Myrtle Beach effective today. Virginia also said they are urging a 14 day quarantine if you travel to VA from Myrtle Beach because they have so many positive cases that are tracing back to Myrtle Beach.
Same, supposed to go to the Outer Banks in August. Worried we will will have to quarantine when we get back which overlaps with the start of school.
I guess you could look at it two ways, if things improve the quarantine will be lifted. If things get worse, we’re not going back to school physically anyway so it doesn’t really matter.
In the last week NY has had more new cases of COVID than NC.
Use some common sense when you travel and you should be fine.

The problem is that it takes time for a person who is exposed to Covid to replicate enough of the virus to show up on a test or show symptoms. From Harvard
If you get the nasal/throat swab or saliva test, you will get a false negative test result:
100% of the time on the day you are exposed to the virus. (There are so few viral particles in your nose or saliva so soon after infection that the test cannot detect them.)
About 40% of the time if you are tested four days after exposure to the virus.
About 20% of the time if you develop symptoms and are tested three days after those symptoms started.
and
How soon after I'm infected with the new coronavirus will I start to be contagious?
The time from exposure to symptom onset (known as the incubation period) is thought to be three to 14 days, though symptoms typically appear within four or five days after exposure.
We know that a person with COVID-19 may be contagious 48 to 72 hours before starting to experience symptoms. Emerging research suggests that people may actually be most likely to spread the virus to others during the 48 hours before they start to experience symptoms.
If true, this strengthens the case for face masks, physical distancing, and contact tracing, all of which can help reduce the risk that someone who is infected but not yet contagious may unknowingly infect others.
So, even if you leave a high-level area, getting tested right away won't necessarily be all that indicative. If you got infected on the last day of your stay, you'll still get a false negative 40% of the time 4 days later!
So you should still wait just to even get tested.

We would have been better off not quarantining at all.

Not sure if serious, but even without accounting for population (NY > 2xNC) that's not true. NC has averaged close to twice as many positive cases over the last week.

Not according to the CDC website.
You can argue with them. Your numbers are complete BS.
I live in Hawaii. A lot of the success with catching violators is from residents turning people in. A lot of people are also dumb enough to violate and post on social media so they get caught. Our visitor numbers have climbed up to about 400-500 per day, and there are definitely people violating and not getting caught. It is not a perfect system but that plus our geography have kept the numbers low.

Huh?
New York went from 173,984 cases on 6/16 to 176,020 yesterday. That's just over 2000 cases in the last week.
North Carolina went from 45,853 cases on 6/16 to 54,450 yesterday. That's ~8600 cases in the last week, or >4x the # of cases in NY.

I guarantee he's looking at the wrong chart...the one that explicitly states its not up to date. Just a hunch though...
NY = 7,816+ 2,344 = 10,160
Maybe I'm misreading something?

Per the page:
CDC | Updated: Jun 24 2020 12:45PM
Numbers taken from https://coronavirus.jhu.edu/testing/individual-states/new-york
which uses numbers from The Covid Tracking Project.
Looking at the CDC daily reports, New Jersey and NC match numbers exactly.
New York at CDC is broken up of NYC and NY. Add them together and they are very close to the numbers from Hopkins (not sure the discrepancy)
Either way, the suggestion that New York had more cases than NC over the last week is patently false. North Carolina had nearly double the cases with nearly half the population.
