Florida to NH

Tough question. It appears you can still take the auto train from Sanford, FL to Lorton, VA. No police stops. How to get through NY is a problem, I think. If 50% of CV19 cases are in NY, and travel is restricted, you might have to or want to plan a western route through PA and west NY. Perhaps a call to NY State Police would give accurate answers. Otherwise, lots of stories and speculation, not hard facts.

I think I would likely call each state I have to pass through and ask the question. Would drive straight through but still have to stop for gas and bathroom breaks.

My hunch is that FL is about to explode like NYC

Or you could just head all of the warnings and stay sheltered in place!!

Florida has no such order to shelter in place.

Maybe some people want to get home.

It is slightly longer but a much better drive through western PA, western NY, CT,MA and NH. Vary it as suits you, but we stop in Baltimore (relatives), then York, PA, Harrisburg, Scranton then East. We did it over 3 weeks ago from South Florida. This has been our route for 16 years. Avoids NYC for traffic and just fortuitous this year. PM me if u need more info.
