Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine shared new details on the COVID-19 pandemic during a briefing Tuesday afternoon.
Total cases rose to 138,485 with 1,001 new cases Tuesday. Deaths rose to 4,506 with 87 new deaths and hospitalizations rose to 14,481 with 104 new hospitalizations.
Tuesday's new cases are below the 21-day average, but COVID-19 deaths, hospitalizations and ICU admissions are all above the 21-day averages.
The state said as of Tuesday, 117,130 people are presumed to have recovered from COVID-19 and 2,652,164 people have been tested for the virus.
DeWine said Franklin County is still in the top-10 in counties with the highest occurrence of COVID-19. From August 31 to September 13, Franklin County had 2,268 cases, which is 172.2 cases per 100,000 people.
Putnam County still has the highest rate of occurrence with 280.6 cases per 100,000 people.
During his briefing, DeWine announced a new initiative to help Ohioans who are looking for a job. Ohio to Work will help someone who is out of work to identify a new career opportunity, train for it and then be placed with an employer.
He said the first Ohio to Work initiative will be launched in the Cleveland area and he hopes it will expand to more areas of the state.
More than 30 employers are signed up for the program.
Tuesday's press conference comes one day after daily coronavirus cases rose over 1,000 on Monday.
