Ohio is averaging 6,349 cases a day in the last three weeks and 7,186 cases a day in the last week.
Ohio reported 206 deaths Friday, bringing its total to 21,471, according to ODH. It’s the highest number of deaths report in the last three weeks.
ODH updates COVID death data twice a week. The data can fluctuate because other states do not regularly report death certificate data to Ohio’s Bureau of Vital Statistics. The day a death is reported does not reflect the day the death occurred.
For the third day in a row, more than 3,500 COVID-19 patients were hospitalized in Ohio.
The state recorded 3,557 hospitalized patients, with 994 in the ICU and 607 on ventilators.
Coronavirus patients account for 13.4% of hospital beds, 20.93% of ICU beds and 12.82% of ventilators, according to ODH. About 21.2% (5,636) of hospital beds, 20.49% (973) of ICU beds and 61.47% (2,911) of ventilators are available in Ohio as of Friday.
