coronavirus spread

Dr. Bruce Vanderhoff says getting rid of those now could lead to COVID spread in schools.

The lions received presumptive positive test results after the care team noticed mild coughing, sneezing and loss of appetite.

Earlier in the pandemic, older Ohioans were most at risk. But pediatricians say the Delta variant means more children are coming down ill with COVID these days.

While some school districts have moved to requiring masks, others have had to close schools because of ill workers.

The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention on Tuesday reversed course on its mask guidance, once again suggesting all individuals wear masks indoors in areas where COVID-19 cases are surging.

One pediatrician says she's afraid Ohioans "will learn the hard way" about how dangerous COVID is for children.

According to their unions, teachers want to have a say in what safety measures, including face masks, will be required.

Cases in Cuyahoga County are mirroring those on the state level. Ohio recorded its highest daily case increase since May, with 744 new cases, according to state data.

The Ohio Department of Health is urging the more than 40% of unvaccinated people to get those shots and says the variant is a real threat to people younger than 50.

Even if Gov. Mike DeWine lifts the statewide mask mandate, local health departments may keep theirs in place.
