Officials in New York, Connecticut, and New Jersey announced on Tuesday, Aug. 4 that Rhode Island has been added to the quarantine list, while Delaware and Washington, D.C. have recovered enough from the virus to be removed from the list.
States subject to a 14-day quarantine have a positive test rate higher than 10 per 100,000 residents over a 7-day rolling average or an area with a 10 percent or higher positivity rate over a 7-day rolling average.
The governors and health officials have been monitoring the data daily to determine which states could pose a risk as they continue methodically phased reopenings.
