Health officials still recommend avoiding non-essential travel to slow the spread of the virus.

Nationally, health officials are voice concerns about Spring Break parties. Some are calling it the “perfect storm” to spread variants.

Some schools, like Ohio State and New York State, have canceled Spring Break altogether.
