I want to talk about a change in @CDCgov guidance on how we report #Ohio statistics. While we will follow the guidance, we want to make sure we show data in a way that is very transparent and in a way that allows ppl to make apples to apples comparison.
So we will report data in more detail than the new guidance requires. On April 5th, the Council of State and Territorial Epidemiologists -- known as the CSTE -- put forth new case surveillance recommendations.
The CSTE is a national organization made up of member states and territories, representing public health epidemiologists or the scientists who study infectious diseases and their spread.
The CSTE provides provide technical guidance and assistance to states and to the federal partners, such as the Centers for Disease Control (CDC). @CDCgov recommends the state follow the new guidelines.
We will be posting both sets of data on http://coronavirus.ohio.gov .
