The Ohio Department of Health says Franklin County is no longer in the top ten for the highest spread of COVID-19. 

The county is now the 13th-highest for the most cases per 100-thousand people.  Rural counties with populations under 60-thousand people occupy most of the top ten, including Putnam and Mercer.  Athens County is ranked fourth, and Delaware County is ranked eighth.
