Coronavirus: 24 cases reported in Athens County during last week

Correction appended.

There were 24 new coronavirus cases confirmed in Athens County last week as the county moved to level 2.

There are a total of 419 cases in the county as of Sept. 5, according to the Ohio Department of Health. There was one new hospitalization — a person in their 80s — bringing the total to 23. There were no additional deaths reported. 

This is the largest number of cases reported in the county within a week since mid-July.



People under the age of 30 still make up about 75% of cases in Athens County. This compares to about 32% of people under 30 in the state.



The county was moved to level 2 on the state’s advisory system Thursday.
