COLUMBUS, Ohio -- The 7,280 coronavirus cases to date in Ohio are spread across 86 of the state’s 88 counties, with 324 deaths, the Ohio Department of Health reported Tuesday.

The total was up from 6,975 cases in the same 86 counties on Monday, while the number of deaths increased from 274. Only Harrison and Vinton counties, each with populations of less than 16,000, have no reported cases.

Tuesday marked the fifth day of new reporting standards to comply with federal guidelines to now include cases identified from non-testing evidence, certain rapid tests and blood tests that can uncover earlier infections, officials said.

This has resulted in 127 additional “probable” cases than would have been reported previously - 42 Friday, 21 Saturday, 23 Sunday, 8 Monday and 33 Tuesday.

Yet, even with the new reporting standards, Ohio’s once increasing curve upward of new cases has largely flattened, according to the data. The new cases reported over the previous six days ranged from 354 to 372. On Tuesday, 305 new cases were added - well below what had been a projected peak of close to 10,000.

“We basically have flattened the curve,” said Dr. Amy Acton, director of the Ohio Department of Health. “I think we are going to stay flat for a while is what I’m predicting.”

The number of confirmed cases increased by 4% from Monday, a new low and continuing a recent trend for increases that have been much lower than in March when the daily increases were often above 20% and sometimes above 40%.

The state has not released information on the number of current cases remaining, excluding those who no longer have coronavirus, saying that information is not available.

These are the estimated onset dates since March 1 for each of Ohio's reported coronavirus cases as of Monday. Confirmation often is days after the first symptoms, leading to smaller numbers for the most recent days. Not included in this chart are 28 cases with February onsets.Rich Exner, cleveland.com

Yet health officials have said coronavirus often runs its course in 14 days, longer for the most severe cases. Based on state estimates of the onset of symptoms, large numbers of the cases reported to date may no longer exist.

Among the 7,280 cases by the state, 324 have died, 2,913 others had an onset within the last two weeks and 4,043 date back earlier.

Acton has said she believes the number of reported cases is a “gross underestimation” because testing has been so limited, concentrated on the sickest patients and health care workers. There have been 67,874 tests to date.

The age range for confirmed cases to date is from under 1 to 101, with a median age of 54.

Nearly half of all deaths have been to people age 80 and over (159 of 324, or 49.1%). Another 77 people (23.8%) were in their 70s. Only two deaths have been reported for people under the age of 40.

The deaths are spread across 46 counties, including highs of 35 in Mahoning County, 33 in Cuyahoga, 25 in Lucas, 24 in Hamilton and 20 in Portage.

Among the 6,031 cases in which race is known, 65.6% are white, 25.1% black and the rest of other races or multi-race. Ohio’s population is 81.9% white and 13% black, according to estimates from the U.S. Census Bureau.

The state reported there have been 2,156 hospitalizations to date (including those discharged) and 654 in intensive care units. These totals were 2,033 and 613 on Monday, 1,948 and 595 on Sunday.

The health department in March said the state had 3,600 ICU beds, about one-third vacant at the time.

There have been 62.3 cases per 100,000 people in Ohio, but some counties have been harder hit than others.

In Mahoning County, which includes Youngstown, the rate is more than three times as high at 205.1 cases per 100,000. The next highest rates are Marion (169), (165.9), Pickaway (165.9) and Lucas (126.1) counties.

The counties with the most cases are Ohio’s largest, Cuyahoga (Cleveland) with 1,239, Franklin (Columbus) with 1,053 and Hamilton (Cincinnati) with 576.

The statewide total of confirmed cases was 4,782 a week ago, on Tuesday, April 7, and 2,199 two weeks 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.

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.
