Because of vaccinations among residents of nursing homes, those numbers are tiny compared to the numbers reported in December.
The number of virus cases is now down to two in Trumbull County facilities and three in Columbiana County facilities.
There is one staff case in each of two Trumbull facilities. There are two patient cases in one Columbiana County facility and one staff case in another Columbiana County facility.

Vaccinating residents of long-term care facilities such as nursing homes and assisted-living facilities is working in the Mahoning Valley and Ohio, Dr. James Kravec, chief clinical officer for Mercy Health Youngstown and medical director for Mahoning County Public Health, said.
The number of Mahoning Valley nursing homes and other long-term care facilities with current COVID-19 cases has now dropped to four, all of them in Mahoning County, according to the latest numbers from the Ohio Department of Health. Numbers across the state similarly have dropped.
Facilities in Trumbull and Columbiana counties report only three cases of the virus each. Kravec said vaccinations among that population are also the reason for large drops in nursing home cases statewide in each of the last six weeks.
