Franklin County, by a wide margin, continues to lead the state in coronavirus cases. On Sunday, the state reported that Franklin County has had a total of 10,271 cases.
That is an increase of 248 new cases over Saturday’s total. Cuyahoga County, which is the greater Cleveland area, has 7,724 cases, the second highest number of COVID-19 cases in Ohio .
In response to the climbing virus numbers, at least two more area cities are considering making face coverings mandatory indoors in public places and businesses.
Upper Arlington City Council will hold a special meeting at 7 p.m. Monday to consider emergency legislation to require masks in indoor public spaces. Council members will meet remotely and broadcast the session on the city’s website at upperarlingtonoh.gov and on its Facebook page, @CityofUA.
Granville Village Council in Licking County has also called a special meeting for 7:15 p.m. Tuesday to discuss a potential mandate for the use of facial coverings.
If approved, they would join Columbus, Bexley, Cleveland, Dayton, Dublin (effective Monday) and Grandville Heights among some other Ohio cities that have adopted face coverings. Cincinnati’s face covering requirement goes into effect Thursday.
