Four cases of the COVID-19 are now confirmed in Cincinnati. Ohio Governor Mike DeWine announced on Thursday that schools will be closed for three weeks beginning Monday. The move comes as local health departments work to prevent its spread. Cincinnati Mayor John Cranley issued a state of emergency on Wednesday.  

In Kentucky, where there are eight confirmed cases of coronavirus, Governor Andy Beshear says two of those patients are connected through a church.
