ODH reported 68 deaths, for a total of 20,268 deaths in the state and 20,291 Ohio resident deaths. The day a death is reported does not reflect the date the death occurred. Death data can fluctuate because some states do not regularly report death certificate data to ODH’s Bureau of Vital Statistics.

As of Friday, 5,542,296 people in Ohio have started the coronavirus vaccine and 5,108,728 have completed it.

Nearly 47.5% of Ohioans have received at least one dose of the vaccine and 43.71% have finished the inoculation.
