CLEVELAND, Ohio – The Summit County Public Health department announced Sunday that it confirmed the county’s second case of the novel coronavirus.
The patient is a woman in her 40s, the department said in a news release. Officials believe her case is community-spread, meaning she did not have any history of travel to an area of risk or contact with anyone suspected of having the virus.
Summit County Health Commissioner Donna Skoda said that the county will not release any additional demographical information about the patient to the public. The department is working to track down anyone who might have come into close contact with the patient, the news release says.
The Ohio Department of Health confirmed the first Summit County coronavirus case Friday and the second in its media Saturday briefing.
The Summit County Public Health department is also urging all Summit County residents to comply with the state government’s requests to “limit unnecessary exposures” to the novel coronavirus.
“While challenging, limiting the community’s exposure to this disease will make a lasting impact on reducing deaths associate with the virus,” the news release says.
