Health Topics

The Lake County General Health District releases regular reports regarding various public health concerns.  Recent reports are organized by topic area below:

Influenza Surveillance

LCGHD has initiated seasonal flu surveillance beginning in April 2022.  Hospitalizations for seasonal influenza and pediatric flu deaths are reportable conditions in Ohio.  Flu cases are not reportable unless they are of a novel strain due to limited immunity and potential for an epidemic or pandemic (e.g. 2009 H1N1).  Going forward, reports will be issued weekly during flu season, which runs approximately October through May.  Influenza cases are reported by MMWR week, which runs Sunday through Saturday, and roughly aligns with the numbered week of the calendar year (Weeks 1-52).

2019 Novel Coronavirus (COVID-19)

The following reports, released weekly from April 8, 2020 – June 11, 2021, and monthly after June 11, 2021 contain cumulative information regarding laboratory confirmed and probable cases of COVID-19 in Lake County as obtained from the Ohio Disease Reporting System.  Up through January 2021, numbers reported reflect current data as of 2:00 p.m. the day prior to publication.  These numbers may differ from those reported daily by the Ohio Department of Health (ODH) due to new cases accruing or being reclassified to another jurisdiction after ODH finalizes daily numbers.  Beginning in February 2021, data is current up to 12:01 a.m. the day prior to publication to better align with state data archiving timelines.

For more information on COVID-19 in Ohio, visit the Ohio Department of Health’s Interactive Coronavirus Dashboards.
