James, I'm assuming you live somewhere in the United States. To be frank, there is no safe place in the U.S., so unless you can find a bunker in the woods and survive there for a year, you are going to live in an area that has some sort of risk to it, whether it be a city, suburbs or rural. The smartest play, IMO is to offer to stay for a 6 month lease at your current rate if you can afford it, or see if you can get free months with a 12 month lease on your current deal.
What was Washington state's issue at the beginning of the year became the North East, then became the Geographically southern states issue, because this virus travels with people, and if people continue to travel without taking the nesscary precautions, than it'll keep on spreading.
If you can really move away from your workplace, or think you can find work easily once you move, and places like Texas or Florida are too much of a risk, then you probably want to move to a state like Hawaii, which even with the increasing cases, is an island state, so can at least restrict travel more easily than a contiguous state like New Mexico or Colorado.
Speaking personally, I expect the Fall and winter to be bad, and there will be no safe state or area and hope I'm wrong.
