Wood County now has nine confirmed cases of COVID-19

Wood County now has nine residents who have tested positive for COVID-19, according to the daily update from the Wood County Health Department.

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

They range in age from 20 to 71. Seven are female, two 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 nine Wood County residents will be provided by the health department in order to protect their privacy. A Rossford city official released information earlier in the week that the first two cases in the county involved residents of that community.
