Ohio exceeded at least 1,100 newly reported COVID-19 cases for the 13th-straight day.

Also, the 1,236 cases reported Monday means the past 13 days are among the top 17 for most reported cases of the virus in the state since the pandemic started in March.

Monday was the 12th-most for a day. The record of 1,679 cases was Friday.

In the seven days between July 14 and Monday, the state had 9,315 cases. That’s 12.2 percent of the state’s total 76,168 COVID-19 cases occurring in a one-week span.

While the Mahoning Valley also is seeing an increase in cases during that time, it’s less than the state’s.

Mahoning County listed 2,119 total cases Monday, up 30 since Sunday and 148 since July 14. The county’s cases in the past seven days are 7 percent of its total cases.

Mahoning has the 10th-most cases among Ohio’s 88 counties. It was ninth a week ago.

Trumbull County reported 1,185 cases Monday, up 12 since Sunday and 102 since July 14. The cases in the past seven days represent 8.6 percent of its total cases.

Trumbull has the 15th-most cases in the state, down from 14th last week.

Columbiana County had 1,480 cases Monday, up 22 since Sunday and 74 since July 14. The cases in the past seven days are 5 percent of the county’s total.

Columbiana has had the 11th-most cases since June 13.

Of the 76,168 COVID-19 cases in the state, 51,860 are “presumed recovered,” and 3,189 deaths are reported.

The 3,189 deaths include 15 reported Monday by the Ohio Department of Health. Among those 15 on Monday, two were in Mahoning County. Also, the Trumbull County Combined Health District reported two deaths that were not included in the state count.

The Valley has totaled 392 COVID-19 deaths as of Monday: 243 in Mahoning, 87 in Trumbull and 62 in Columbiana.

Each county also had one death reported Sunday.

The seven reported deaths in the past two days are more than the six the three counties had combined for all of last week.

Mahoning has the fourth-most COVID-19 deaths in the state while Trumbull has the eighth-most, and Columbiana has the 10th-most.
