If you are not taking this seriously, you need to start. Stay home and reduce your contact with others as much as possible to reduce the spread.

* Number of counties with cases: 8 (Belmont 2, Butler 4, Cuyahoga 11, Franklin 1, Lorain 1, Stark 3, Summit 2, Trumbull 2). ** Persons who have been tested for COVID-19 and whose laboratory results are pending.

Earlier post from the Putnam County Office of Public Safety:
If you plan to use your local EMS for treatment and transport of patients who are exhibiting any flu symptoms. please give the 911 operator detailed information about the symptoms the patient is exhibiting. Also, if the patient has recently traveled outside of the United States, that information is vital. Additionally, upon arrival of EMS personnel, please repeat that same information. I am sure everyone can understand how important it is for us to keep our EMS personnel and first responders healthy. We will take all necessary precautions, however, the more information we have about the patient, the better.
