The state joins several other hot-spot states across the country where travel to New York requires a 14-day quarantine.
In total, 19 states are now part of the quarantine, though Missouri is not one of them despite adding more than 3,000 new COVID-19 cases in the last seven days.
According to New York's restrictions, states are added to the list based upon a seven-day rolling average of positive tests in excess of 10 percent, or the number of positive cases exceeding 10 per 100,000 residents.
New Jersey and Connecticut also put Kansas on their states' quarantine lists.
