Stay out of Ohio. Some would say it's good advice for MIchigan football fans, and travelers in general.
But there are those among us who choose to live in the land of flat vistas, and those residents of Ohio just got a warning from the Ohio Department of Health: Don't travel to Ohio.
That's right, Ohio was added to its own travel advisory map because its positivity rate for coronavirus tests rose above 15% this week for the first time since April.
News5 Cleveland explained that any state with a positivity rate above 15% is put on the map, and the ODH recommends against travel to those states with high positivity.
This is what they said exactly -- "This is the first week since April where Ohio's positivity for COVID-19 has increased above 15%. The state has seen record levels of cases, deaths, and hospitalizations in the past week, and all Ohioans can help to limit the spread and impact of this virus. This includes recommendations to stay at home except for necessary trips for supplies, consistent mask-wearing when around others, and frequent hand washing. Together we can help stop the spread of COVID-19."
The self-quarantine recommendations should be heeded by both Ohio residents and out-of-state visitors, the ODH said, adding that it is a guideline and not a mandate.
Meanwhile, Michigan continues to keep restaurants and gym classes shuttered and to limit gatherings.
