2. Kentucky
Jha may see Kentucky as a “yellow” state, but cases spread much faster than in Ohio. Kentucky has a high infection rate of 1.23, and when it comes to prevention, it is stifled by the small number of contact tracers. Furthermore, there are currently only enough to trace 38% of new cases. Kentucky now has more than 19,760 cases of COVID, and there have been just under 650 deaths.
