The COVID-19 case count in Highland County has dropped below 50 cases per 100,000 residents, according to a Wednesday update from the Highland County Health Commissioner Jared Warner.
Warner said that as of Wednesday the case count stood at 44.02 cases per 100,000 residents, and that the county has seen only 19 new cases over the past two weeks.
Ohio Department of Health (ODH) Director Stephanie McCloud announced on Thursday that, effective immediately, the Ohio Public Health Advisory System has been canceled. McCloud said that “as cases decline and vaccinations increase, this data is no longer the best measure of Ohio’s current status.”
