The list updated list includes Alabama, Arkansas, Idaho, Iowa, Kansas, Mississippi, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, South Dakota, Texas, Utah and Virginia. Alabama has the highest positivity rate at 34.1%. Ohio’s positivity rate is 12%. Kentucky, Connecticut, Oregon and Wyoming have experienced reporting irregularities so the ODH was not able to calculate an accurate positivity rate; however, none of those states listed on last week’s travel advisory.
Last week, 14 states were on the advisory, which for the first time in about six weeks did not include Ohio after the state’s positivity rate dropped below 15%.
Anyone traveling to Ohio from a state on the travel advisory should self-quarantine for 14 days.
While quarantining, monitor yourself for a fever or other signs of coronavirus, such as a cough, difficulty breathing, fatigue, muscle or body aches, headache, loss of taste or smell, sore throat congestion, runny nose, nausea, vomiting and diarrhea.
