COLUMBUS, Ohio – Ohio’s 2,573 known coronavirus-related deaths are spread across 71 of the state’s 88 counties, with total cases now reaching 41,576, the Ohio Department of Health reported Monday.
The death total increased 6.5% in the last week from 2,404, while the case total was up 7.1% from 38,837. The rolling seven-day averages for both cases and deaths have generally been flat over the last week, though up slightly after hitting two-month lows toward the end of last week.

Separately, data from the Ohio Hospital Association said there were 513 coronavirus patients in reporting hospitals across the state, including 216 in intensive care units.
These numbers generally have trended down for weeks. On April 20, there were 1,087 COVID-19 patients, with 520 in ICU. On June 1, there were 760 patients, including 217 in ICU.
One-in-281 Ohioans have now reported to have been infected with coronavirus.

The number of deaths reported daily for the last week were 16, 3, 46, 18, 33, 36 and 17. The reports lag several days from the actual date of death and sometimes are reported by the state in clusters
The state’s case total has gone up daily by 428, 300, 424, 420, 429, 413 and 325.
The daily increase in total cases has been under under 2% since May 23 and under 3% since May 9. In March the daily increases were often above 20%, and sometimes above 40%.
The Ohio Department of Health on Monday reported 428 new coronavirus cases.Rich Exner, cleveland.com
The state health department last updated the number of deaths for nursing home patients on Wednesday, with a total of 1,745, representing 71% of all known COVID-19 deaths in Ohio at that point.
The case total includes 5,860 state prison inmates (4,524) or staff (1,336), 81% of whom have recovered, the prison department reported Sunday. Four prison staff and 78 prisoners have died. There are another 145 active inmate cases at a federal prison in Columbiana County, down from more than 400 previously.
A total of 554,128 tests have been conducted, up 80,140 in the last week in comparison to 75,922 and 67,732 the previous two weeks.
These are the estimated onset dates since April 18 for each of Ohio's reported coronavirus cases. Confirmation often is days after the first symptoms, leading to smaller numbers for the most recent days.Rich Exner, cleveland.com
Ohio unlike some other states does not provide information on the number of current cases remaining, excluding those who no longer have coronavirus, saying that information is not available. This information is provided only by the prison department, and by the health department for nursing homes.
Yet health officials have said coronavirus often runs its course in 14 days, longer for the most severe cases, indicating that many known cases no longer exist. Most of the known cases are older.
Among the cases reported to date, excluding those who have died, 3,832 have had an onset in the last two weeks. More than nine times as many – 35,171 – are older.
The state is now reporting that the onset of symptoms was as early as January for 21 cases – four from Montgomery County, three from Warren, two from Miami and one each from Clermont, Erie, Greene, Lake, Logan, Mahoning, Medina, Richland, Stark, Summit, Union and Wood.
Though most Ohio coronavirus deaths are to people age 80 and up, hospitalizations are much more spread out by age.Rich Exner, cleveland.com
The age range for cases is from under 1 to 109, with a median age of 48. The median age for deaths is 81.
More than three-fourths the deaths have been to people age 70 and up, with 632 (24.6%) in their 70s and 1,367 (53.1%) at least 80 years old. Those 80 and up accounted for 44% of deaths from all causes nationally in 2017.
Death totals for other age groups are 361 in their 60s, 149 in their 50s, 40 in their 40s, 15 in their 30s, nine in their 20s, and none younger.
The number of coronavirus deaths by day in Ohio peaked at 63 on April 28. The number of deaths has not topped 40 since May 23. Numbers for more recent dates will increase as more information becomes available.Rich Exner, cleveland.com
The counties with the most deaths are Franklin (332), Cuyahoga (315), Lucas (282), Mahoning (216), Summit (194) and Hamilton (179).
For the deaths in which race was reported, 78.9% are white, and 18.3% are black. Yet for total cases, 55.9% are white and 27.4% black. Ohio’s population is 81.9% white and 13% black, census estimates say.
Among all cases reported to date, 6,948 have been hospitalized, including 1,776. A week earlier, these totals were 6,550 and 1,668, meaning that in the last week the state learned of 398 new hospitalizations, with 108 new admissions to ICUs.
The counties with the most cases are Franklin (7,202), Cuyahoga (5,220), Hamilton (3,250) Marion (2,706). Franklin (Columbus), Cuyahoga (Cleveland) and Hamilton (Cincinnati) are Ohio’s most populated counties. Marion’s cases have mostly been in prisons.
The first three cases were confirmed on March 9. The total topped 100 on March 19, exceeded 1,000 on March 27 and then 10,000 on April 18.
The state on April 10 began new reporting standards to include more types of testing and cases identified from non-testing evidence. This has resulted in 3,040 “probable” cases being included in the total cases reported for Ohio to date.

Corrections in the data are made from day to day by the state. Sometimes the state has reduced the number of cases in individual counties from one day to the next as corrected residency information is received
The chart below is based on the most recent case data from the Ohio Department of Health. Cleveland.com calculated the cases per 100,000 rates based on 2019 census population estimates.
