Additional Coronavirus information and resources:
The Ohio Department of Health released the number of presumed recoveries in the state, with 39,423 people recovered from COVID-19 to date.
On Thursday, Lt. Gov. Jon Husted said the state would be adding the recovery metric to its database. He said to get that number, the state takes the total number of cases and subtracts the number of deaths and bases that on data over the last 21 days. Husted said that after working with the data and health officials, they have deemed that to be an accurate number based on those factors.
The data in the charts above is updated daily. After 24 hours, it may not reflect the statistics on the date this story was published.
