Ohio Public Health Advisory System canceled
On Thursday, May 27, 2021, Ohio Department of Health Director Stephanie McCloud announced the cancellation, effective immediately, of the Ohio Public Health Advisory System. The statewide alert system launched in July 2020 to assess the degree of COVID-19 spread by county and provide data to help guide individuals, businesses, schools, communities, local governments, and others in their response and actions during the pandemic.

Beginning in mid-October, the decrease in percent of cases linked to another known COVID-19 case is likely caused by the surge in virus spread and subsequent increase of cases in the community. When community-wide spread increases and numbers of new cases exceed the capacity to investigate cases, knowing if a person with COVID-19 is linked to another person with COVID-19 decreases.
What to look for: High percentages are good, and 80% or greater is best. Note that the measures for the most recent 4 weeks tend to be less accurate because of delayed information reporting and collection.
What to look for: The goal is to have greater than 80% of tests reporting results to public health within 48 hours. When test results take more than 48 hours to report, the effectiveness of helping people with COVID-19 and people they may have infected decreases. Note that the measures for the most recent 4 weeks tend to be less accurate because of delayed information reporting and collection.
What to look for: An increase in the number of people visiting the emergency department with symptoms of COVID-19 foreshadows an increase of people who will be diagnosed COVID-19. Note that the measures for the most recent 4 weeks tend to be less accurate because of delayed information reporting and collection.

Cases by race and ethnicity are updated as additional data are available. Race and ethnicity categories will not align exactly with population totals because of incomplete data.
What to look for: Significant differences between the “% of all cases” and “% of population” for each race/age group indicate potential inequities in how the disease is being contracted and/or treated. For example, if 50% of all cases are among whites but whites are 75% of the population, then the data indicate non-white people are likely impacted more from COVID-19. Note that the measures for the most recent 4 weeks tend to be less accurate because of delayed information reporting and collection.
Note: Excludes case counts <11
