Nine of 15 people confirmed with COVID-19 in county are hospitalized

Wood County has 15 residents who have tested positive for COVID-19, according to the daily update from the Wood County Health Department on Wednesday, April 1.

Of those 15, nine are hospitalized. None are in Wood County Hospital. The others are staying isolated in their homes.

They range in age from 20 to 71, with the median age of 55. Ten are female, five are male.

The tests are not readily available in Wood County, so local officials predict there are many more people here with the virus.

No additional information about the 15 Wood County residents will be provided by the health department in order to protect their privacy. A Rossford city official released information last week that the first two cases in the county involved residents of that community.

As of today, Ohio has 2,547 cases, with 679 hospitalizations and 65 deaths. The age range has been 1 to 99 years old.
