Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine began his last briefing on the COVID-19 fight last week by warning that flu season is coming and that, along with COVID-19, could be extremely dangerous. He received his vaccine alongside first lady Fran DeWine during the briefing.

DeWine said the latest Ohio Public Health Advisory system map show six counties at Level 3. More counties are going to Levels 1 and 2, he said.

DeWine is expected to hold his next news conference Tuesday afternoon.
