What kind of numbers does Florida need to come off of the quarantine list?

[lynnfitz]

Hi, trying to figure this out-"googled" it, and still don't quite understand. Although Florida's numbers are still very high, what kind of numbers do they need to come off the quarantine list? The 14-day quarantine travel advisory applies to travel from certain states identified as those that have a positive COVID-19 test rate higher than 10 per 100,000 ... They have been under 10,000 new cases for 11 days. I know, still a very long way to go-but if you're following this, what numbers does the state need to reach? From NY, so we have to quarantine going to Florida, and coming back. Rescheduled our August trip to mid-October, not overly optimistic that the trip will happen, but then again look at NY!
Thanks!

It looks like there are two criteria. Either: a positive test rate higher than 10 per 100,000 residents over a seven-day rolling average; or a testing positivity rate of higher than a 10% over a seven-day rolling average. So while FL may be below the first threshold, I don't think their positivity rate is lower than 10% yet.

Of course the results from this week are going to be skewed due to the state testing sites being closed for Isaias.

Figured the lower % of positives was due to the testing sites being closed, but hoping there is a true drop in the next week so we can go mid-August.

Thanks everyone! I just hope there numbers keep going down for everyone's sake!

I’m still confused...the positivity rate seems to going in the right direction...but the cases per 100,000 I can’t find the information easily to see how Florida is doing..
Cancelled our September trip and rescheduled for May 2021...would love to go a little sooner if we didn’t have to have to quarantine in New York when we get home.

This is the only site I've found to be able to get the cases per 100,000: http://rochester.nydatabases.com/da...fhOkicIL-OxB9nSNG52zKK7raQ_DR0w7JEnZtehsE_QkU. It's updated every Tuesday and the numbers seem to match up with what's posted elsewhere. For what it's worth, because of Florida's population, they need to be around an average of 2100 cases to be under the 10/100,000 threshold that NY requires.

Florida would have to be below 2148 new cases/day on a 7 day average, to meet the first criteria they are at 4286

Thanks, that's what I was looking for-what their daily number would have to be around, heading in the right direction, but still a way to go-

The numbers are improved this week:

Looks good, but the issue will be getting it below that magic number and KEEPING it there. Florida has seemed to be one of those states that sees the numbers going down and decides to open wide up again.

I know I've been watching those numbers almost daily! Leaving mid October, rescheduled from August. I was hoping back in August that Oct would give the state enough of time to get those cases down! Renting points, and I think they expire in November, so if we don't go, we loose quite a bit of $!

I think much of this will depend on the "back to school" wave and how bad it is, especially in the norther counties

I didn’t think there were any quarantine rules once you got there, only once you returned to NY?

Florida has removed the quarantine for travelers from NY, NJ, CT.

Florida was removed from Ohio’s quarantine list today.

Florida has been below 10% positivity rate for 14 days in a row now. That should get the off all lists but as we know places like to move the bar all the time.

I wish that was the case..for New York it also has to be below 10/100000 people..

NY also goes by Johns Hopkins positivity rate, not Florida's DOH - Johns Hopkins is still reporting a 7 day rolling average of around 13%.
