Mass. residents are urged to limit any out-of-state travel only to the states on the lower-risk state list, which are exempt from the state's travel order regulations, DPH said.

The other exempt states are: Colorado, West Virginia, Pennsylvania, Delaware, New York, New Jersey, and all New England states besides Rhode Island.
