Health officials link nationwide rise in mental illness to pandemic fatigue

COLUMBUS, Ohio — A panel of specialists with Ohio State Wexner Medical Center discussed what Ohioans should know about COVID-19 vaccine boosters, mental health during the pandemic and more on Wednesday. 

Across Ohio, daily virus cases have slowly began to decrease, according to Chief Clinical Officer Dr. Andrew Thomas. Where the 7-day moving average of cases sat just above 7,000 cases per day roughly two weeks ago, it has since dropped to an average of around 6,000 cases.
