Toledo health department says COVID cases rising, recommends mitigation efforts - Published Aug 21, 2024
TOLEDO, Ohio (WTVG) - The Toledo Lucas County Health Department is reminding the public of health safety measures as COVID-19 cases rise in the area.
The health department said Wednesday cases have been on the rise in the county and recommended several measures to help prevent the spread of COVID, including wearing masks in crowded indoor spaces and staying home if you feel sick. Parents can remind their kids who are heading back to school to wash their hands regularly.
In a statement issued Tuesday, the health department said COVID vaccines and flu vaccines aren’t available just yet, but would update its website and social media pages when they are. Local health officials plan to offer community clinics for vaccinations as well.
Gov. Mike DeWine tested positive for COVID earlier this week. In a statement from his office, he said COVID cases have been on the rise in Ohio since late June. While the number of cases has increased, COVID hospitalizations in Ohio weren’t rising in recent weeks, his office said.
The health department said you can find additional information and resources about COVID-19 from the CDC.
