To stem the spread of the coronavirus, certain states have enacted restrictions on interstate and sometimes international travel. These usually take the form of a 14-day quarantine, which may be either mandatory or advised. The federal government also has enacted restrictions on international travel, focused on certain countries that are associated with a high rate of COVID-19. You can read more here about those restrictions.
The list below summarizes restrictions at the state level. Many county and city governments have adopted their own restrictions, which are not covered here. You may want to check the website of your local governing authority to find out about the most recent travel rules that may affect you.
