CLEVELAND, Ohio — Mercy Health St. Joseph Warren Hospital in Trumbull County treated a male patient who tested positive for the novel coronavirus, known as COVID-19, according to the Warren City Health Department.

The Ohio Department of Health confirmed later today that the 5th person is a 55-year-old man.

The four other individuals — three in Cuyahoga County and one in Stark County — tested positive for coronavirus. Another 24 people are under investigation as of Wednesday afternoon, meaning they have symptoms of COVID-19 or were possibly exposed to the virus.

In all four cases, the patients are in their 50s — three men and one woman. The patients in Cuyahoga County are in home-quarantine, and the Stark County man is hospitalized.

COVID-19 is a respiratory illness with symptoms similar to those of the flu — fever, cough and shortness of breath — that has sickened thousands and killed 3,100 in China, according to the World Health Organization. There is not yet a vaccine for COVID-19, nor are there any medications approved to treat it, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
