'All of this costs a lot of money to run and we really need to make sure we can do it because it was so deadly. We lost a lot of lives.'

The health commissioner said state funding will likely carry Summit County through 2022, but she also expressed concern if a federal bill isn't passed to provide more funding.

She said future testing and vaccinations may no longer be free without more money flowing in to help with costs. She believes that would create barriers to lower-income residents or those who don't have insurance.
