Ohio started reopening six weeks ago, but hasn't seen a coronavirus case surge. Why not?

COLUMBUS, Ohio – As several states start to see a surge in COVID-19 cases since reopening, Ohio has not.

Where cases are rising: Florida, Texas and Arizona are among the 22 states reporting a rise in coronavirus casesHere are three possible reasons why Ohio hasn't had a surge in cases: Testing, combined with contact tracing to identify others who might be infected, prevents hotspots from merging to become a surge, said Dr. Michael Oglesbee, director of the Ohio State University's Infectious Diseases Institute.

Even when businesses and activities were allowed to resume, not all did or they opened at a fraction of their pre-coronavirus level. And everyone had to follow new safety rules: keep 6 feet between people, require face coverings for employees and clean high-touch surfaces frequently. Cases can take weeks to appear from an event – cases emerging now in Alabama have been pegged to Memorial Day. Although two weeks is the oft-cited incubation period for COVID-19, Cameron said it can take three weeks to see infections from exposure at an event appear in reported numbers and even longer to see secondary infections.
