COVID-19 numbers take another dip

NORWALK — The case count is down again. Huron County had a recorded count of 57 cases, a decrease from 64 the previous reporting period for the period Sept. 30 to Oct. 6. That is a drop from 96 the previous week. The average age of cases for this reporting period increased from 48 to 59, with the highest number of cases for this week in the 81+ age range. Six Zip Codes in Huron County reported cases this week, with the highest infection rate in the Willard (44890, 44850, 44807) Zip Codes. Important Notes About This Report 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. For 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.
