COVID-19 cases continue to decline; county fairs likely to be held this year
COLUMBUS- Hospitalizations and case numbers of COVID19 have continued to decline through the state which led to the anticipation of county fairs being open this summer Governor Mike Dewine reported at his regular briefing held on Thursday afternoon.
As of Thursday, there had been 1,448 cases of COVID-19 and 908 confirmed COVID-19 patient count in Ohio hospitals reported.
“As of today, we are at 155 cases per 100,000 during the past two weeks. This is still a very elevated level, but the data is certainly trending in the right direction,” Dewine stated.
In the Ohio Advisory System, Richland County was listed in the red.
Due to the trends going in a positive direction, Dewine provided information regarding county fairs.
“This year, we anticipate we will be able to have full county fairs.
Later today, we will be issuing updated guidance with just some limitations. It is possible that by the time we get to fair season we may be off health orders if things continue to go well,” Dewine said.
In addition, Dewine also gave an update on spring sports.
“Students who are not required to quarantine because they have had an incidental exposure to COVID-19 in a classroom can participate in sports activities as long as they don’t have symptoms and follow the appropriate sports guidance,” Dewine said.
Regarding the distribution of the vaccine, Dewine explained work was continuing with community partners to ensure that traditionally underserved members of communities had access to the vaccine if they chose to receive it.
“More appointments will be available during the coming days. We encourage Ohioans to check the website regularly,” Dewine
