Americans in 26 states, more than part of the country, are not expected to do so at this time, according to the Harvard Global Health Institute’s threat assessment map.
The color-coded map is a tool to assess the threat of COVID-19 propagation. Each state has a score of green, yellow, orange, or red, based on the number of new positive instances of COVID-19 that are consistent with another 100,000 people on a seven-day moving average.
According to Harvard researchers, the red or orange states exceed the threshold to allow for non-essential travel.
Since the Fourth of July, the number of red states has tripled from four to 11.
According to the latest site update on Tuesday, July 14, more than one in five states: Florida, Arizona, Louisiana, South Carolina, Alabama, Texas, Georgia, Nevada, Tennessee, Mississippi, and Idaho, have recently had 25 or more positives. CoVID-19 instances each day consisting of 100,000 people. According to Harvard researchers, these red states are “at a tipping point” and are ordered to stay at home.
Another 15 states — including a large Midwestern band stretching from Oklahoma up to Minnesota — are colored orange on the HGHI map, which signifies 10 or more new COVID-19 cases per day per 100,000 people, based on a seven-day rolling average. Orange means there is an “accelerated spread” of COVID-19, with “stay-at-home orders and/or test and trace programs advised,” according to the HGHI researchers.
The remaining part of the country is colored yellow on the map. These states did not leave the forest, according to HGHI. Yellow means between one and nine new COVID-19 instances consisting of 100,000 inhabitants, meaning there is an extended network.
Four months after the start of the pandemic, there are no green states on the map. This means that no state is “on track to involve COVID-19,” as explained through Harvard. However, two states are approaching; Vermont and Maine have a positivity rate of 1.2%.
According to CDC guidelines, you deserve to reconsider your vacation if COVID-19 spreads where you live. “Even if you don’t have symptoms, you can pass COVID-19 to others along the way,” the CDC page says.
Since July 4, Florida has outperformed Arizona as a state with the infection rate. In just 10 days, Florida’s positivity rate increased by 42%, from 36.6 to 51.8 new instances consistent with the day consistent with 100,000 inhabitants. The Sunshine States is now the epicenter of coronavirus in the United States.
The car is contributing to the spread of COVID-19 along U.S. highways, according to a Policylab exam at Philadelphia Children’s Hospital (CHOP). As a result, an increasing number of states have imposed quarantines for foreign visitors from states with maximum infection rates.

Over the years, I have conducted an authoritarian circle of relatives to make vacation plans; they interviewed Michelin-starred chefs, sent captains, taxi drivers and musher dogs; he looked up plenty of places to stay, from majestic windsuits and lighthouses to rustic cabins and kitsch motels; arranged on the iconic Orient Express; bathed in the glory of Machu Picchu; and much more.
