This is how fast Ohios coronavirus cases have been increasing – cleveland.com

CLEVELAND, Ohio - It took 112 days from the first known coronavirus cases in Ohio for the state to reach 50,000 in late June. But over just 13 days recently, the state went from 200,000 to 250,000 cases, with no end for the recent spike in sight.

This illustrates how quickly the case totals have been adding up.

Ohios first three cases were confirmed on March 9. It wasnt until June 28 - three and a half months later - that Ohio reported case No. 50,000.

Then things accelerated, in part because more testing was able to confirm more cases, but more so because of an increasing spread, especially over the last several weeks.

* It took 42 days for Ohio to go from 50,000 cases to 100,000 on Aug. 8.

* It took 48 days to go from 100,000 to 150,000 on Sept. 26.

* It took 30 days to go from 150,000 to 200,000 on Oct. 26.

* And it took just 13 days to go from 200,000 to 250,000 on Sunday, Nov. 8.

After adding 4,706 cases on Monday and 6,508 more on Tuesday, Ohios case total now stands at 261,482, according to the Ohio Department of Health.
