The Quarantine under the Sixth Amended Executive Order 2020-07

Question:

I have families relocating to my municipality from areas with substantial community spread.  Para. 26 of the Sixth Amended Executive Order 2020-07 states "I hereby direct all persons who enter the State of Oklahoma by air from an area with substantial community spread ..."

The families are traveling by car.  I am interested in everyone's opinion on this order and its application.  My strict reading leads me to believe that it is only for those traveling by air and not in cars; however, respectfully, this makes little sense to me as a preventative measure.

Thoughts please?
