There were 716 more COVID-19 cases recorded for May 1st than
the previous day, a 4.0% increase between the two days. Deaths increased by 27
for a 2.8% increase. While the increase in deaths is much less than earlier
this week, it is worth noting that total COVID-19 fatalities for Ohio now
exceed one thousand (1,002).
A quick review of COVID-19 related hospitalizations shows
there have been 3,634 admissions to date. This is equal to 31.5 per 100,000
population. Mahoning (102.59), Lucas (95.29) Columbiana (93.66), and
Pickaway (87.97) had the highest rates per 100,000 residents. Several Ohio
Counties, all in Appalachia have yet to record a COVID-19 related hospital
admission.
