These tests only provide a snapshot of your infectiousness at one point in time. A period of isolation is required before a test and there should be no exposure after, either.

Those traveling to the state will need to test negative for the disease within three days of their trip and quarantine immediately upon entering.

New Yorkers who are leaving the state for less than 24 hours do not need to obtain a test before returning to the state but must be tested within four days of returning to the state.
