The five states on the list are Alabama, Idaho, Iowa, Kansas and South Dakota. South Dakota has the highest positivity rate at 22.3%. Ohio’s positivity rate is 8%, up from 7% last week.
Kentucky and Mississippi have experienced reporting irregularities so the ODH was not able to calculate an accurate positivity rate.
Anyone traveling to Ohio from a state on the travel advisory should self-quarantine for 14 days.
While quarantining, watch 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.
