Clermont County has moved back to a level two (orange) advisory under the Ohio Public Health Advisory System. The advisory system, first introduced on July 2, uses a set of seven indicators to measure how much COVID-19 is spreading in each of Ohio’s 88 counties. On October 1, Clermont County was elevated from a level two to a level three advisory.

The risk levels under the advisory are determined by seven alert indicators. Those indicators are:

• New cases per capita
  • A sustained increase in new cases
  • Proportion of cases that are not in congregate living facilities
  • A sustained increase in emergency room visits
  • A sustained increase in outpatient visits
  • A sustained increase in new COVID-19 hospital admissions
  • Intensive care unit bed occupancy

As of October 8, Clermont County met two of the seven indicators. Those indicators are:

• The number of new cases per capita
• The proportion of cases that are not in congregate living facilities
• A sustained increase in the number of emergency department visits

A county that meets 4 or 5 of the above indicators will be under a level 3 (red) emergency.
