However, during his Thursday briefing, Ohio Governor Mike DeWine stated that 56 of Ohio’s 88 counties actually saw an increase in cases.
“At this point, there aren’t yet significant increases in healthcare utilization at the county level, so most counties are still staying red or orange on our advisory map,” said DeWine.
A total of 64 counties are still considered high incidence under the CDC guidelines.
