Ohio residents should reconsider traveling to the state of Ohio. The Ohio Department of Health’s list of states with a travel advisory — because of high COVID-19 testing positivity rates — now includes Ohio.
Health officials recommend anyone entering Ohio from states on the list, where the positivity rate is 15% or higher, self-quarantine for 14 days.
But Ohio had to put itself on the list, as this was the first week its own COVID-19 positivity hit 15% since April. That doesn’t mean Ohio residents should abandon the state.
Rather, the state is recommending everyone stay at home aside from necessary trips for essential supplies.They’re also advising residents to wear masks while around others, and frequently wash their hands.
