COLUMBUS, Ohio — Lt. Gov. Jon Husted announced during a press conference on Thursday that the Ohio Department of Health's coronavirus site was not updated Thursday afternoon due to technical difficulties.

The website usually shows updated coronavirus numbers at 2 p.m. every day, but the site was not updated at that time Thursday.

It is unknown when the numbers will be released on the website.

At the beginning of Thursday's press conference, Gov. Mike DeWine said the website was hacked, but Husted said later during the conference that the site was not hacked but was experiencing technical issues.
