Dakotas Added To Ohio's COVID-19 Travel Advisory

Ohio Department of Health

State health officials Wednesday reported 973 new cases of COVID-19  and 26 new deaths. 

The state now has 133,065 cases and 4,319 deaths.  

Ohio has added two states to its COVID-19 travel advisory. Those states have positivity rates of 15 percent or higher.  Ohioans should avoid traveling to Alabama, Kansas, South Dakota, and North Dakota. Visitors from those states must self-quarantine for 14-days before entering Ohio.  The Dakotas make their first appearance due to a large spike in cases associated with the Sturgis Motorcycle Rally.
