COLUMBUS, Ohio (WTVN)--Governor Mike DeWine delivered a lot of good news on Thursday, with regard to the state's fight against coronavirus. That included two central Ohio counties removed from the "red" level 3 distinction.

DeWine says Fairfield and Licking counties were upgraded to a "yellow" level 2 advisory when it comes to community spread. Muskingum county was also removed from the "red" level, leaving only Franklin County as the only location in central Ohio that's still in the "red" level 3 advisory.
