Lifting of public health orders should boost Indians crowds, nudge Ohio closer to normal

Lifting of public health orders should boost Indians crowds, nudge Ohio closer to normal CLEVELAND, Ohio – Life should look a bit different in Ohio starting today. You may stop in for breakfast at your favorite restaurant and find all the chairs and tables back to the way they used to be more than a year ago. You might be worshipping a little closer to your fellow parishioners. And the stands should be fuller at your favorite sporting event. Simply put, we won’t have to be treating others as if they had, well . . . a communicable disease. That’s because many of Gov. Mike DeWine’s health orders to combat the coronavirus were rescinded as of June 2, including those pertaining to masks and social distancing, although they will remain in place for nursing homes and assisted-living facilities.

Cuyahoga County COVID-19 Cases, Vaccinations Dropping

The testing positivity rate, which measures the number of COVID-19 tests that come back positive in county hospitals, has dropped to 5 percent, down from 6 percent at the beginning of April, she added.

COVID-19 vaccination rates have slowed in Ohio and across the country, and combined with new mutations of the virus circulating, health officials fear herd immunity may be out of reach. Cuyahoga County’s vaccination rate is 45%, which is a long way from the more than 70% thought to give us herd immunity.
