CLEVELAND, Ohio — The state of Ohio on Thursday reported 18,838 new cases of COVID-19 in its weekly dashboard update.
This week’s case total averages to about 2,691 new cases per day over seven days.
That’s higher than last week’s total of 17,225, or 2,461 a day, but still below case totals in January, when they hit nearly 200,000 a week.
Total reported COVID-19 deaths since the beginning of the pandemic were 38,920, up from 38,852 a week ago.
