Trumbull County remains at level 3 "red" alert status under the Ohio Public Health Advisory System map, as the county meets three of the system's seven risk indicators:

• The county has reported 883 new cases in the last two weeks, which is 446 new cases per 100,000 people — more than four times higher than the CDC's "high incidence" threshold of 100 cases per 100,000 people. Counties meet this indicator if reporting more than 50 cases per 100,000 people over the past two weeks.
• Between 68 percent and 84 percent of the county's new cases in each of the last three weeks were reported outside of group settings such as long-term care or correctional facilities. Counties meet this indicator if weekly non-congregate cases from at least one of the last three weeks was more than 50 percent.
• The county has reported a consecutive, at least five-day increase in the average number of new COVID-19 hospitalizations in the last three weeks. The increase began Dec. 18 at about three average visits, and rose to about 6 average visits on Dec. 24.

Trumbull County today had the 15th-highest number of total cases in the state, as well as the ninth-highest total deaths, according to ODH.
