State and local COVID-19 numbers have recently begun trending lower, with both case counts and hospitalizations down. Community Hospitals and Wellness Centers reported zero COVID hospitalizations, last week…it’s the first time that’s happened since July 2021. But the numbers of both Ohioans and Williams County residents who are vaccinated also trail national numbers, with just 43% of Williams County residents with all their shots…14% less than the percentage of Ohioans and 21% less than the total percentage of Americans. Data from the New York Times shows 57% of Ohioans are fully vaccinated, compared to 64% across the country. Ohio leads the nation in COVID cases per capita, at 1,582.
