As cases increase throughout the state, the CDC is classifying more southwest Ohio counties as having “high” COVID Community Levels — including Butler, Hamilton and Warren counties.
When determining community levels, the CDC looks at the number of new coronavirus cases per 100,000 people in the past week as well as new COVID hospital admissions and the percent of staffed inpatient hospital beds occupied by coronavirus patients.
