COVID-19 numbers remain low in Huron County

NORWALK — Steady as it goes. COVID-19 numbers dropped in Huron County for the reporting period of April 8 to 14. The reporting period has recorded a case count of 11 cases, a slight decrease from 13 for the previous reporting period. The average age of cases for this reporting period has decreased from 50 to 48, with the highest number of cases for this week reported in the 31 to 40 and 61 to 70 age ranges. There were 4 Huron County zip codes with reported cases this week, with the highest infection rate in the Bellevue (44811) Zip Code. Case counts included in this report are estimates for the reporting period based on reports generated from the Ohio Department of Health (ODH)'s Ohio Disease Reporting System (ODRS). These data may be impacted by several factors, including but not limited to: Lack of reporting individual cases (for example, if a self-administered at-home test kit results positive but individual case information is not reported to HCPH or recorded in the ODRS, this case will not be counted by ODH or included in this report); and Reporting delays with the electronic reporting of cases, especially during surge periods. Continued Updates HCPH reminds residents to continue to use reputable sources for information about COVID-19, including www.huroncohealth.com, www.coronavirus.ohio.gov and www.cdc.gov.
