Ohioans told to avoid travel to these 9 states

The updated list includes: Alabama, Idaho, Iowa, Kansas, Nebraska, Nevada, South Dakota, Utah and Wisconsin. South Dakota has the highest positivity rate of 43.4%. Ohio’s positivity rate is 6%. The positivity rate is an indicator of how much COVID-19 there is in a community.

Mississippi and Wyoming are shaded gray on the advisory map because they had several days in the past week without overall testing volume data; this means an accurate positivity rate could not be calculated. Based on recent trends in these states, they are likely at elevated positivity levels and Ohioans are encouraged to avoid travel to those states, according to the ODH.

Those who enter Ohio after travel to the states on the travel advisory map are advised to self-quarantine for 14 days.
