While Ohio continues to utilize giveaways and lotteries to incentivize more people to get a COVID-19 vaccine, the state's death rate continues to climb.

New cases of COVID-19 are on the decline, but approximately 100 Ohioans are still dying from virus complications per week. Deaths are being recorded in increasingly younger Ohioans. During the state's winter surge, most COVID-19 deaths were among people 80 and older. Now, deaths are increasingly being recorded among Ohioans between the ages of 40 and 79.
