We are continuing to work on coronavirus stories across Ohio and in Stark County. Here’s the latest.

There are now five confirmed coronavirus cases in Stark County an 119 positive test in Ohio, according to the latest information released from the Ohio Department of Health. Cuyahoga County has nearly half of Ohio’s with 53 positive results.

There are infections in 24 counties. However, experts have warned the numbers are much higher because of a lack of test kits.

Here are the counties across Ohio with positive cases:

Ashland (1), Belmont (2), Butler (8), Clark (1), Coshocton (2), Cuyahoga (53), Darke (1), Delaware (2), Franklin (10), Geauga (1), Hamilton (1), Huron (1), Lake (2), Lorain (6), Lucas (1), Mahoning (5), Medina (5), Miami (1), Montgomery (1), Richland (1), Stark (5), Summit (6), Trumbull (2), Tuscarawas (1)

"Spring will come to Ohio and across this country," Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine opened his media briefing, pointing out Thursday is the first day of spring. "It (spring) reminds us how good life is. ... There will be a new day coming."

Dr. Amy Acton, director of the Ohio Department of Health, stressed how important it is for people to social distance from one another.

"We are on the upslope now," Acton said. "It is urgent that we talk with each other — it is time to heed this call. You need to stay at home if you can stay at home with your family."

Acton said an investigation is underway in the Toledo area to determine if a death there is related to coronavirus. She said she didn’t it would take long to make an announcement.

"I have to say to everyone, this is real," Acton said. "This is why we want you to take it seriously. We’re moving up and this is accelerating. It’s heartbreaking, every bit of it is heart breaking."

Ohio Supreme Court Justice Maureen O’Connor announced $4 million from the high court’s budget to provide grants to local courts to set up video conferencing to limit face-to-face contact. O’Connor encouraged judges to use continuances for non-essential cases and their discretion to release jail inmates who are at a higher risk of contracting coronavirus.

While casinos and racinos were ordered close, DeWine said he received reports about "internet cafes" being open in some parts of the state.

"The illegal internet cafes, as of right now, we’re closing them," DeWine said. "Even if you think your internet cafe is legal, it’s closed as well."

DeWine noted the point of the closure was to limit the number of people who are near one another.

DeWine address a number of rumors with a sweeping statement.

"The National Guard is not involved in carrying weapons. You may see them carrying groceries," DeWine said. "You’re to see the guard involved in transportation and things they can do with their equipment. If there’s any change in that, we will let everyone know.

"I’ve heard rumors about martial law and quarantine at home and none of those are true."

Lt. Gov. Jon Husted said more than 111,000 unemployment claims have been filed through Wednesday.
