Advisory Map 12/17
COLUMBUS, Ohio — On Thursday, Ohio Governor Mike DeWine provided the
following updates on Ohio's response to the COVID-19 pandemic.
OHIO PUBLIC HEALTH ADVISORY SYSTEM
New
health data compiled by the Ohio Department of Health shows sustained
severe exposure and spread (Purple Level 4) in Richland County. Medina,
Portage, Stark, and Summit counties all moved from Purple Level 4 to Red
Level 3 this week. Governor DeWine cautioned that a decrease from Level
4 to Level 3 does not indicate that the situation in these counties is
improving, but rather that healthcare indicators, such as
hospitalizations, are plateauing at a very critical level.
