Case Counts will be updated weekly unless otherwise noted.
*Preliminary data presented based on expanded CDC case definitions for Confirmed and Probable cases of COVID-19. Retroactive to 11/1/20, probable case definition revised by ODH to include all positive Antigen tests.
Discontinuation of Positivity Rate: The county positivity rate has been discontinued due to the state no longer requiring all testing sites to report all negative tests. This value is no longer directly ascertainable.
Death Reporting: Death data reported in Lucas County will not reconcile with the numbers reported by the Ohio Department of Health's (ODH) COVID-19 Dashboard. ODH's death data is sourced from the state's Electronic Death Reporting System (EDRS), which only counts fully certified death certificates where the certifier included COVID-19 as the cause of death and where this was coded as such by the National Center for Health Statistics. Fully certified death certificates may lag up to 6 months following an individual's death. Death data reported in ODRS follows the CSTE case definition criteria if COVID was reported as a cause or contributing factor to death.
