As far as I know, it's not as if the National Guard is preventing people from going in or out of New Rochelle.

"At a press conference Tuesday afternoon, Governor Cuomo said that the state would establish a one-mile-radius “containment area” within the town, and that its schools would close for two weeks beginning on Thursday. While people will still be allowed to move in and out of the area freely, large gatherings will be canceled, and there will be a focus on decontaminating the area. The National Guard will be called in to assist."

@Thinkerbell You are correct. There was a discrepancy between the first story announced, and the later story. In fact, infected people are not being prevented from leaving New Rochelle.
