Wood County now has 15 confirmed cases of COVID-19

Wood County now has 15 residents who have tested positive for COVID-19, according to the daily update from the Wood County Health Department on Tuesday, March 31.

Of those 15, eight 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 2,199 cases, with 585 hospitalizations and 55 deaths.
