The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) data reveals that Ohio remains at a concerning level 12 on the flu activity scale, with the situation showing little signs of improvement.
In recent weeks, the impact of the flu has been felt across various regions of the state, with northeast and east central Ohio bearing the brunt of the outbreak. Counties such as Mahoning, Ashland, Carroll, Columbiana, Holmes, Medina, Portage, Richland, Stark, Summit, Trumbull, Tuscarawas, and Wayne have reported a surge in flu-related hospitalizations. These areas have seen an increase in the number of reported cases, indicating widespread transmission of the virus within the communities.
Moreover, the northeast region, comprising counties like Ashtabula, Cuyahoga, Geauga, Lake, and Lorain, continues to experience a rise in flu activity, with new cases being reported regularly. Despite efforts to mitigate the spread of the virus through vaccination and public health measures, the flu remains a significant public health concern in Ohio.
