Three in Muskingum County being monitored for COVID-19
March 12, 2020
Muskingum County is currently monitoring three people for the Coronavirus (COVID-19), Health Commissioner Corey Hamilton said Thursday. An additional fourth person was tested with results coming back negative.
According to Hamilton, the three individuals being monitored are being cooperative and are self-quarantined at home.
Two of those being monitored returned to Muskingum County earlier this week after being quarantined abroad for two weeks in a “hot-spot” country.
There are no confirmed cases of COVID-19 in Muskingum County at this time.
Ohio Governor Mike DeWine announced Thursday afternoon a fifth case of the Coronavirus (COVID-19) has been confirmed in the state.
This time it is in Trumbull County.
The patient is a 55 year-old man.
There are now three cases in Cuyahoga County, one case in Stark County and the lastest single case in Trumbull County.
According to DeWine, those numbers are expected to keep increasing.
“It will double in six days, and that just continues on and on and on,” said DeWine.
Muskingum County officials plan to give daily updates on the Coronavirus.

My son was seen by his physician then sent to health department to be tested for coronaviris they sent him to genesis er for testing he didn’t meet criteria. He has exposed myself and I work in a nursing facility I hope my resident don’t get sick and die because hospital didn’t want to waste a test very sad.
