Travel Information
*Updated 7/23/2020 at 2:00pm*
Those entering Ohio after travel to states reporting positive testing rates of 15% or higher for COVID-19 are advised to self-quarantine for 14 days.
Positivity rate is an indicator of how much COVID-19 there is in a community, and ODH is recommending against travel to those states with high positivity. If someone must travel, ODH is recommending 14 days of self-quarantine after leaving those locations. This advisory is intended for both leisure and business travel and should be heeded by both Ohioans and out-of-state travelers.
The list of states will be updated every week on Wednesday. Based on a 7-day rolling average of positivity rates of July 22, the affected states can be found here: Travel Advisory States
