COLUMBUS, Ohio — The Ohio Department of Health reported 2,594 new COVID-19 cases in the state on Monday, a decrease of 87.5% from two weeks ago on Jan. 26, when 20,752 daily cases were reported. Recent data from the ODH shows a significant and consistent downward trend in cases, as well as a steady decline in hospitalizations.
"So, we are feeling hopeful, as we begin February, that better days are ahead," Vanderhoff said. But remember, we are still a very long way from having case levels like those we were seeing in the late spring, through the early fall. Our cases per capita are still, as a state, more than 10 times what is considered high in terms of levels of transmission."
"The ongoing decline in hospitalizations is allowing many hospitals to resume services that needed to be postponed during this most recent surge," Vanderhoff said.To date, the COVID-19 vaccination has been completed in a total of 6.6 million people, which is 56.6% of the state's population. In the last 24 hours, the vaccine has been completed in 2,354 people.
