A key COVID metric that will determine when Ohio can lift its public health mandates decreased for the third straight week on Thursday, and state health officials said one pandemic measurement is at its lowest level in six months.
Ohio reported 140.2 cases per 100,000 people over the last two weeks, according to the Ohio Department of Health. This is down from the 155.6 cases reported last Thursday and the 185.8 cases reported two weeks ago.
Gov. Mike DeWine said if the state reports fewer than 50 cases per 100,000 people for two straight weeks, all public health orders, including the mask mandate, will be lifted.
