As the state of Ohio is seeing a shift in the wave of COVID-19 cases, the Ohio Department of Health says now is not the time to let our guard down.
As the northeast part of the state was hit hard at the beginning of the month, they are starting to see a slight decrease. But Ohio is still seeing a record number of daily reported cases of more than 20,000 which is by no means out of the woods with the virus. The surge is shifting, working its way through the state but health officials say it will always be here.
Ohio Department of Health Director Dr. Bruce Vanderhoff explains, “COVID-19 will be a part of our healthcare landscape for the foreseeable future. Which really underlines the importance of considering vaccination if you’ve not yet been vaccinated. Vaccines have clearly shown themselves the safest way to assure yourself that you have protection from severe illness.”
Vanderhoff also encourages people to use all the tools they have available to decrease the spread.
