While new COVID-19 cases may be on the decline, deaths and hospitalizations related to the virus continue to surge. If cases remain on the decline, it could be a week or more before other metrics begin to decline in Ohio. COVID-19 vaccinations began this week in Ohio. Gov. Mike DeWine believes Ohio will receive approximately 660,000 COVID-19 vaccines in December and another 660,000 vaccines in January.
