Ohio Department of Health addresses spike in COVID-19 infections Ohio reported more than 6,000 new cases of COVID-19 for the first time in months when the latest data was released early Wednesday afternoon. Updated: 12:01 PM EDT September 2, 2021 Facebook Twitter COLUMBUS, Ohio — "We all need to choose to be vaccinated." Those are the words from Dr. Bruce Vanderhoff, who was recently named the director for the Ohio Department of Health. He held a press conference Thursday to address the spread of COVID-19 across the state. Dr. Vanderhoff explained that Ohio's cases per 100,000 are now higher than 400, which is a notable increase from early July when he said that figure was close to 17. "All our counties have now more than 100 cases per 100,000 residents – and some are upwards of 1,000," Dr. Vanderhoff said. Those with the highest case rates are primarily in counties with lower vaccination rates, according to Dr. Vanderhoff. Here's other data he shared regarding Ohio's recent surge in daily COVID-19 infections: Statewide: One in eight patients in the hospital has COVID-19. About one in five patients in the ICU is battling COVID. Last Friday, those figures were one in 10 and one in six, respectively. Rural Ohio: One in four patients in the hospital has COVID-19. One in three in the ICU is battling COVID. You can watch Dr. Vanderhoff's Thursday press conference in full below:
