: After months of working from home, stir-crazy Americans have finally reached the long, hot days of summer only to watch their vacation horizons dim, with travel options shrinking as the country’s coronavirus cases soar.

As for cross-country trips, it’s not that simple: In the vast US, laws on mask-wearing and social distancing vary dramatically, and sometimes confusingly, from one jurisdiction to another. Meanwhile, New York has extended its list of US states totaling 22 now whose citizens will be required to self-quarantine after arriving in the northeastern state.
