By Samuel Stebbins, 24/7 Wall St. - Cincinnati 2022-01-11 As the omicron variant spreads, new daily cases of COVID-19 have hit new highs in the United States. To date, there have been 57,535,900 reported cases of the virus nationwide — and that number is growing every day. In the Cincinnati metropolitan area, which covers parts of Ohio, Kentucky, and Indiana, a total of 389,103 COVID-19 cases have been reported to date. Adjusted for population, there have been 17,941 reported infections for every 100,000 people in the area — in line with the national rate of 17,586 cases per 100,000 people. Even though COVID-19 infections per capita are in line with the national average across Cincinnati , there are parts of the metro area where this is not the case. The broader Cincinnati metro area comprises 15 counties or county equivalents, which can include independent cities — and of them, Dearborn County has the most COVID-19 cases per capita. So far, there have been a total of 10,117 infections in Dearborn County, or 20,438 for every 100,000 people. A relatively high infection rate does not necessarily mean COVID-19 related fatalities per capita are higher in Dearborn County than they are across all of the Cincinnati area, however. There have been a total of 218 coronavirus deaths for every 100,000 people in Dearborn County, in line with 211 COVID-19 deaths per 100,000 across the entire Cincinnati metro area. All COVID-19 data used in this story are current as of Jan. 7, 2022. These are all the counties in Indiana where COVID-19 is slowing (and where it's still getting worse).
