SCIOTO — A few days into February, it is apparent that Scioto County and Ohio is at a different and mostly better place in the ongoing coronavirus pandemic.
According to data from the Portsmouth City and county health departments, more people recovered from COVID in January than new positive cases. This was due to smaller increases in case numbers, while presumed recoveries remained between 40 to 65 each day.
