Summit County still hasn’t received word from the state that the community is headed to level orange on the state’s COVID-19 dial this weekend, but the area’s trends have continued to move in the wrong direction.
Public Health Director Amy Wineland provided officials with an update on the county’s COVID-19 situation during a joint meeting with the Summit Board of County Commissioners on Thursday afternoon, noting that Summit County’s numbers have returned to January levels over the past couple of weeks.
Summit County has had 154 positive COVID-19 cases over the past week, an average of 22 per day, according to Wineland. The county’s seven-day cumulative incidence rate is more than 403 new cases per 100,000 residents, well above the threshold for level orange. The county’s seven-day average positivity rate is at 10.31%, which falls in level red.
