It depends on your risk level. It is June 26 and Florida is peaking. Many northern states peaked already and are guarding a resurgence. I would stay north until FL cases and deaths are on the decline for a week or two. Many activities are outside here, so watch contact but consider coming down to stay active. Bring hand sanitizer and masks. Still hard to get here.
I just moved here from Michigan and will be returning there for a while to see the self home schooled grand kids after my 14 day quarantine. Parents are all nurses/ drs or prison workers, so the grandkids have had limited contact w adults. I expect a seasonal virus return In the fall most everywhere and it usually is more deadly than this one. Check to see if you have some immunity perhaps, and come on down to enjoy the sunshine and modified activities. It is certainly better than being stuck in your home for 3-4 months.

I am guessing that the northern states will support careful vaccine production/distribution more aggressively than southern states. May want to get vaccinated there. Good luck & health, and kudos for requesting input.
