Tuesday’s case total is among the highest during the two-year-old pandemic. The highest single-day total was reported Dec. 23, when there were 15,989 cases.
Ohio hospitals reported 5,207 patients with COVID-19 occupying beds Tuesday, up from 5,019 on Monday. Among Tuesday’s patients, 1,193 were in intensive-care units and 771 were on ventilators.
The Department of Health reported COVID-19 test positivity rate as 24.7% for Monday, the most recent day for data. The tests counted in this figure are PCR genetic tests, molecular testing of nucleic acid, as well as. Antigen tests that people pick up for free at a local health department, library or other Ohio Department of Health partner are guided through a virtual appointment and reported by the telehealth provider, which means they appear on the state’s COVID-19 dashboard.
For over-the-counter tests that are truly self-administered, people are encouraged by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention to provide the results to their healthcare provider or local or state health department. Some self-tests have an app that will automatically report results to the appropriate health authorities. But the results only end up on the dashboard if they are self-reported.
In the 14-day period ending Dec. 20, test positivity ranged from 7.8% in Athens County, to 32.8% in Lawrence County.
