Ohio changes COVID-19 death reporting, will result in delayed but more accurate death count Randy Ludlow, The Columbus Dispatch After failing to timely report more than 4,000 deaths, the Ohio Department of Health is moving to a different mortality reporting method beginning Tuesday that will take longer to disclose deaths, but be more accurate, officials say. The state will rely solely on death-certificate reporting data to detect and report COVID-19 deaths, state health director Stephanie McCloud announced Tuesday ahead of a temporary reduction of the death toll among Ohioans by 596. Since most death certificates are not filed with the state system until one to two weeks later, the virus fatalities reported by the state will not be as prompt as the near real-time system that tracks infectious diseases in Ohio, officials said.
