Governor Mike DeWine announced on April 20 that he has directed the Ohio Department of Health (ODH) to collect more specific information regarding cases of COVID-19 in Ohio’s nursing homes, assisted living facilities, and hospitals.
Nursing home and assisted living data will include COVID-19 cases broken down by the number of residents and staff who have tested positive for COVID-19 at nursing homes and assisted living facilities listed by facility and county. Data will be posted to coronavirus.ohio.gov every Wednesday.
Ohio will also begin reporting aggregate death data for nursing homes and assisted living facilities at the county level.
