If the COVID-19 pandemic has made you feel as though the virus is the overwhelming challenge for Ohio, you are not alone. Most people have pushed the Buckeye State’s other woes to the backs of their minds. But coronavirus is not the only deadly plague raging through the state, and it is time we return our attention to another killer.
“Overdose deaths were worse than they’ve ever been, “said Ohio Attorney General Dave Yost. “It was as though we hadn’t done anything at all.”
Yost’s Scientific Committee on Opioid Prevention and Education reported more people died from opioid overdoses in spring 2020 than ever before in Ohio.
Under the settlement terms, Ohio will receive $20 million this year and $4.7 million spread over the next four years to help remediate the harm caused by the opioid epidemic.
