Cuyahoga County Executive Armond Budish: Working to ask the state to loosen requirements so more people can qualify for unemployment.

Health Commissioner Terry Allan: Emphasizes hand-washing and standing six feet away from others in public.

Allan: “Abide by this order,” he said of the governor’s Stay at Home order.

Allan: Good hygiene, social distancing are at the forefront of what we’re messaging everyone to do. Cover your cough. Wash commonly-touched surfaces frequently. If you’re sick, please stay home.

Dr. Heidi Gullett: Offered sincere condolences to the family in Cuyahoga County that lost a family member Friday. Also to family members of two others who died in Ohio.

Gullett: “We’re fighting to minimize any future loss of life…we will have more loss of life if you don’t heed our warnings.”

Gullett: 99 lab-confirmed cases (exclusive of Cleveland). Ages 14-91. Median age 49. We have had 7 ICU admissions, the number likely is behind.

Gullett regarding testing: Testing needs to be reserved for those most ill. Hospitalized patients or high risk. If you have a mild infection, isolate at home.

We’re at a crossroads. Specifically to “young kids” who might feel invincible: We are not invincible, and it isn’t about us individually. It’s about our grandparents, it’s about our senior neighbors…we need to protect them.” Data shows young folks can unknowingly be part of the chain of transmission. Take to heart this governor’s order.

Gullett: If you have a donation of medical supplies, call the COVID-19 line, and we will ensure it gets to where it needs to go: 1-855-711-3035.
