#SOON: a special Monday briefing with @GovMikeDeWine and Ohio’s hospital administrators is coming up. Watch #LIVE on our Facebook page.

I’m working remotely today but needed to meet photographer @DennisWsyx, so we’ve got a mobile set-up outside the @OhioStatehouse

Doctors from @ClevelandClinic, The @OSUWexMed , @uchealth and @mercy_health are joining in. Watch now!

#NEW: Ohio reporting 11,885 cases of COVID-19. This includes a bunch of backlogged cases from @mercy_health & @ClevelandClinic that did not report for two days, added to today.

This does *not* include the backed-up antigen tests, those are a separate issue — now 15K backlogged.

DeWine: "The high volume of these cases is now overwhelming these systems...causing problems at the laboratories getting information through."

4,358 COVID patients in @OhioHospitals today, per the OH Hospital Association.

DeWine uses this graphic of “ghost people” to demonstrate how contacts outside the Thanksgiving dinner table can spread the virus to those sitting at the table.
