COLUMBUS (WCMH) — The Ohio Department of Health has released the latest number of COVID-19 cases in the state.
As of Thursday, June 24, the ODH reported a total of 1,110,000 (+303) cases since the pandemic began, leading to 60,405 (+53) hospitalizations and 8,293 (+11) ICU admissions. A total of 5,536,519 people — or 47.4% of the state’s population — has at least started the vaccination process, an increase of 8,951 from the previous day.
The ODH reported 47 deaths Tuesday, bringing the state total to 20,213. The state is updating the total number of deaths only after death certificates have been processed, usually twice a week.
During a news conference with the last Vax-A-Million winners, Gov. Mike DeWine remarked that the state was still averaging about 100 deaths a week, and the data on those dying are moving to a younger age.
