Cleveland Mayor Justin Bibb and Cincinnati Mayor Aftab Pureval and leaders from their respective health departments called on the state of Ohio to supply increased testing capacity to mitigate the spread of Covid-19.

In a departure from former Mayor Frank Jackson, Mayor Bibb explicitly endorsed the vaccine and the booster shot. While he said now was not the time to dwell on the past, he said what alarmed him most about the city of Cleveland's Covid-19 strategy until this point was its lack of communication in communities of color, where vaccination rates are extraordinarily low.

"That might mean knocking on doors," Bibb said,"it might mean working with clergy in neighborhoods where there is a lack of trust. We need to talk about the importance of getting vaxed and boosted."
