Governor Mike DeWine:At least 100,000 people infected with Coronavirus in Ohio alone

The state of Ohio could already count more than 100,000 people infected with the new coronavirus , said an official of the health authorities of this state in the north of the United States.

Speaking at a press conference Thursday alongside Governor Mike DeWine, Ohio Department of Health director Amy Acton said the state is recording “community” transmissions of the virus, that is to say locally within the population, and not via people who have traveled to infected areas.

"Based on what we know about how community transmission works, at least 1% of our population is infected with the virus in Ohio today, " said Amy Acton. “We have 11.7 million inhabitants. So by doing the calculation that makes 100,000. This gives you an idea of how the virus spreads, and spreads quickly, ”she added. [link to www.bfmtv.com (secure)]
