A 49-year-old Summit County man died May 4 from COVID-19, according to a news release from the county. The man died from acute cardiopulmonary failure due to complications of COVID-19, according to county spokesperson Nicole Valentine. The man had underlying health conditions and was not vaccinated, according to the release. This is the fourth person in the county to die from the virus. Four other residents have died with the virus. The state counts deaths two ways: deaths caused by the virus and deaths among people who had COVID-19. According to the state’s website, the number of deaths due to the virus comes from death certificates where COVID-19 is listed as the cause of death or a significant condition contributing to death. This number is determined by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
What considerations are there for businesses that have most, if not all, of their staff vaccinated? “What’s really important is that we’re still learning a lot about the vaccine,” Wineland said. “We know that it’s almost 100% preventable in serious illness, hospitalizations and death. “What we also know is that people who are fully vaccinated still contract the virus. They still might have mild illness, and they might spread the virus. What role vaccinated people play in the continued spread of this virus we are still learning. … It is really critical that even people who have been vaccinated continue to wear that mask until we reach a high level of protection within our population.”

Each seminar in this Series will cover the evidence on inequities in health exacerbated in the COVID-19 pandemic and address good practices and solutions to improve health equity through addressing the social determinants.
