Dr. Amy Acton, the director, of the Ohio Department of Health, previously said the state’s latest numbers likely don’t reflect all of the cases in the state because testing is primarily used to screen individuals who are hospitalized or work in the health care field.
Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine and Dr. Acton held a regular briefing on Friday afternoon regarding the latest cases and progress being made to prevent the spread of COVID-19.
The latest modeling from the Ohio Department of Health and Ohio State University projects a surge of nearly 10,000 new cases per day, peaking on April 25.
Out of the 895 hospitalizations reported through Thursday, 288 individuals were admitted to intensive care units.
Cuyahoga County remains the region with the most confirmed cases of COVID-19 in Ohio, with 780.
