In January, there were 42 diagnosed COVID-19 cases among Summit County residents aged 70 or older, according to county data. In March, that number was zero.
Summit County officials called that statistic “remarkable” and said it shows that vaccines are working.
Summit County Health Director Rich Bullough presented data to the Board of Health Monday night that painted an optimistic picture of the local coronavirus situation
