COLUMBUS, Ohio - The 14,694 coronavirus cases to date in Ohio are spread across 87 of the state’s 88 counties, with 656 deaths, the Ohio Department of Health reported Thursday.

The case total increased 4% over the total to date reported Wednesday. Deaths were up 8%. The number of admissions to hospitals was up 3%, including a 2% increase for treatments in intensive care units.

Separately, the Ohio Hospital Association reported 1,094 current COVID-19 patients across the state on Thursday, down from 1,125 on Wednesday. The total has ranged from 1,029 to 1,125 for 10 days. This accounts for discharges.

Details for each county are listed at the bottom of this story.

The total number of coronavirus cases was up from 14,117 in the same 87 counties on Wednesday, while the number of deaths increased from 610. Vinton County has no known cases.

There were 577 new cases reported Thursday, the second lowest total since April 15. Recent increases had been tied heavily to stepped-up testing in prisons, even among inmates without symptoms.

The prison department Wednesday reported 4,123 cases (3,792 inmates and 331 staff across Ohio. This was up from 489 inmates and 184 staff last Thursday, April 16. Tuesday’s total included nearly 2,168 inmates and staff at the Marion Correctional Institution, and 1,632 at the Pickaway Correctional Institution.

Also impacting comparisons to earlier trends, the state on April 10 began new reporting standards to include more types of testing and cases identified from non-testing evidence. This has resulted in 552 additional “probable” cases than would have been reported previously, including 44 added Thursday.

Dr. Amy Acton, the state’s health director, has said Ohio has largely plateaued overall. She said the increase in the number of newly reported cases in recent days was more the result of targeted testing. Acton said many more people likely have been infected than the numbers show.

The number of coronavirus-related deaths have ranged from 21 to 36 a day over the last couple of weeks, though not all recent deaths have likely have yet been reported.Rich Exner, cleveland.com

A total of 102,325 tests have been conducted.

Prior to this past weekend, the daily increase had been in the 4% to 8% range since April 7. This had been much lower than in March when the daily increases were often above 20% and sometimes above 40%.

These are the estimated onset dates since March 1 for each of Ohio's reported coronavirus case. Confirmation often is days after the first symptoms, leading to smaller numbers for the most recent days. Not included in this chart are 31 cases with February onsets. The recent spike is related in increased testing in prisons.Rich Exner, cleveland.com

Ohio unlike some other states has not released information on the number of current cases remaining, excluding those who no longer have coronavirus, saying that information is not available.

Yet health officials have said coronavirus often runs its course in 14 days, longer for the most severe cases, indicating that many known cases no longer exist.

Among the cases reported to date, excluding those who have died, 7,220 have had an onset in the last two weeks. The other cases – 6,818 – are older.

The age range for confirmed cases to date is from under 1 to 106, with a median age of 51.

Nearly half of all deaths (311 of 656, or 47.4%) have been to people age 80 and over. This age group accounted for 44% of the deaths nationally in 2017.

About half of Ohioans are under 40, yet only four people this age are known to have died from coronavirus, all in their 30s.

The deaths are spread across 56 counties, including highs of 83 in Cuyahoga County, 62 in Mahoning, 55 in Lucas, 47 in Hamilton and 46 in Franklin.

Among the 599 deaths in which race was reported, 78.8% were white, and 16.9% were black. Ohio’s population is 81.9% white and 13% black, census estimates say.

Among all cases reported to date, 2,960 have been hospitalized, including 900 in intensive care units. These totals were 2,882 and 880 Wednesday, 2,779 and 838 Tuesday, and 2,653 and 798 Monday.

The counties with the most cases are Marion (2,161), Cuyahoga (1,768), Franklin (1673), and Pickaway (1,661). Franklin (Columbus) and Cuyahoga (Cleveland) are Ohio’s two most populated counties; Marion and Pickaway have high numbers of prisoners with COVID-19.

Vinton County, with a population of just 13,085, has no cases.

The statewide total of confirmed cases was 8,414 a week ago.

The first three cases were confirmed on March 9. The total topped 100 on March 19, exceeded 1,000 for the first time on March 27, and went over 10,000 on Saturday, April 18.

Some numbers may change from day to day. As the state works to clean data, it sometimes has reduced the number of cases in individual counties from one day to the next as corrected residency information is received.

The chart below is based on the most recent data from the Ohio Department of Health reported on Friday. Cleveland.com calculated the cases per 100,000 rates based on 2019 census population estimates.
