The newest list has five states — the same number as last week — and includes Alabama, Idaho, Iowa, Kansas and South Dakota. Alabama, was added this week and Mississippi dropped off the list. Idaho has the highest positivity rate at 26%. Ohio’s positivity rate is 7%, down from 9% last week.
New Jersey and Wyoming have experienced reporting irregularities so the ODH was not able to calculate and 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.
