People traveling from Indiana to Ohio are being asked to self-quarantine for 14 days, according to a COVID-19 travel advisory issued by the Ohio Department of Health on Wednesday.
According to the advisory, people traveling to Ohio from a state that is reporting positive testing rates of 15 percent or higher for COVID-19 are asked to self-quarantine for two weeks. As of Wednesday, according to Ohio health officials, those states include: Indiana, South Dakota, Idaho, Wisconsin, Iowa, Wyoming, Kansas and Nevada.
The advisory comes just one day after Chicago issued an emergency travel order for Hoosiers. That quarantine order applies to people coming from Indiana for non-work purposes and to Chicago residents returning to the city from Indiana, unless that person is an essential worker. Exceptions to the order include travel for medical care and parental shared custody, the order says.
