Still working on, we have four persons on what we've been following for several weeks and they came back negative. So today the big negative for negative. This is a news part of the press conference. we have two persons under investigation pending test results and in a do have approximately 30 people who are corn because they had an exposure of out of state and return. that was from a conference that you're all aware of quarantine in their hearing their symptoms. We have no reason to believe that this. That they will become public. Those are the numbers okay. now I'm gonna go over to Senator Coley and then I will have some more things that I wanna impart to you. well.

Thank you very much keep up the good work and we'll be here to answer any questions. Thank you, Senator Richard Representatives. I've been a big part of this throughout this and to assist us here at the with us like to also mention that this is an all hazards approach, so we have not only public safety involved, but we have all of our communities in Butler County involved and most of our agencies and departments are engaged in this incident here at the County as well and I'd like to introduce our County security attorney Prosecutor Mike Mosher to say a few words as well. For coming you probably what law enforcement and what Peter Rescue officers this critical time as you know, virus does not take a holiday and neither his crime. The County commissioners have graciously extended the availability ceremonial courtroom from the cramp space that we usually have in the Grand jury, which really puts a lot of people in close, but we'll be repairing to the ceremony of Jason to the Commission office on Monday through the week and thanks to follow until this crisis. Over to the Grand jury system, stays up and running there's a lot of questions as you can imagine for those folks come to know if if there was any lead that they could expect back to Grand jury attendants. there is no, but their tenants will take place and they're all willing to participate. So that's what's been going on in my world and I expect that we will continue we have as we have in the past, then you need. thank you. Thank you sir. also we've had a very large amount of emergency operations Center ongoing for days now in this County some of our County agencies have lent a hand to support at information flow. what's happening? we can get the right message out one consistent message, our community partners and our County commissioners and their for helping us move through that and continue to be in line with what we're doing with and I'd like to ask the commissioners Commissioner TC Rogers the same. Again, I thank you all coming here on behalf of the other city carpet in the last seven I've been in my experience they had a official in in terms of resources have been applied and I did for a public health care crisis, the board of commissioners each and committed assisting and cooperating the Butler County the district. To mitigate and alleviate the effects of a 19 to keep all the a better Kansas City corporate citizen safe Butler County has complied with with the guidance of the state. Public officials and has fallen the best practices of the Center for Disease of control as well as instructions from a governor DeWine, the board of Commissioners will take an unnecessary action to to attempt to. 19 from spreading any further in changing lives and to promote protect the public health safety and welfare at the board of Commissioners for regular, I mean on Monday, March sixteenth the consider legislation which activities. Initiating and rendering assistance is needed and teared approach called County functions Creations as external circumstances warrant, and if more likely when the current public health emergency aid phase the the appreciates all of the safety officials and including those in their care industry before you know all of you. Line of this pelvic health and mercy, I have put spoke to he knows of the and know that the index on the one hand and then trying to elite public Spheres was also a large doors and all the 12 papers so hopefully it'll get better. Thank you. Commissioner Health Commissioner come back up. I was in comments and then we'll take mister. So two things I wanna talk about is now that you know that we have seen in our community aged what is different with the public. now. What do we have to give? I'm just gonna say that the second gave you yesterday day four and the two weeks before holds true today, exactly as we've been so stay the can continue doing the public health things that talk about all along Washington cover your costs. Stay home If you are ill, keep your distance from sick, be careful medical space like this, we need to develop some new habits start not to walk right in and shape, but stick that elbow out remind each other to keep your distance and do positive healthy. For one another, you're not only protecting your own health, but you're protecting the health of those vulnerable people in our community who must protect them and put a cocoon around mouth, helpless and large gathering and it to the number of people who will be allowed into a 100. We are solidly instead of recommends that the governor and the director of Department of Health are making right now. We are cancelling any of us that we have that will be over 100 people and we were all to do those things as well. Calm get there and then sit down keep calm and and listen to. With the message of a specific things that I wanted to public get tested, everyone is asking that question we do where to go. We don't know what to do. I wanna tell you you can't get accounts Department. A lot of people have come to our Department case and Jackie's Department for for a test applicants when the advancing the kids to public health, they might Department of Public Health. There are kids in Columbus in the that can test be what we don't have them here. So just know that, but if you are very sick. Hospital, Ohio Department of Health will test festival if you're not that sick, but you do hit the criteria to be tested our two ways to do that through commercial laboratory for can do that kind of testing all three of those methods require a doctor's order. So at this time, there's no place that the public can just walk in and say I need a test and get one of them may get there someday, but we're not there at this time. So you need a doctor's order. If you don't have a doctor, then your recourse would be to. Emergency room and tell you please don't just show up anywhere you need head first. If you think they have symptoms that warrant a Coven 19 test, we don't want sick people showing up and showing up and providers offices with big time coughs going on and contaminating a waiting room full of healthy or an emergency room. You need to call ahead and say 18 test discuss that over the phone and then the provider will give you instructions do next providers who test everyone. These used careful clinical judgement in deciding test because I want you for public. If your tests, we are obligated to start a whole chain reaction of things that need them to contain that person while to see if the test was positive because this whole effort is about containing a disease, a provider tells us that they're worried about a person to test on them, then we have to their contrasting figure out where the who they've been around. This is public health function and we need to quarantine those. In their homes and with the test results to come back, that's a time consuming and lengths us. It requires public a temple. they can't go to work, perhaps a school perhaps or they can't take care what weight test if there wasn't a freezer to Jet test in the first place, and that's all unnecessary something of people by all means test everyone's to be tested it should and brick cooking and clinical skills before rest or request that your member of the public. Must be coordinated with health Department. We are the only people who can put someone information so we need if that needs to happen rely on providers. reporting to us when they're thinking about when the dude not just when a reason, but well in advance of that, so public health can use all of his tools in order to contain this outbreak. so please please remember to coordinate with the local public health Department so just to reiterate what you do and today is the same. we've been telling you all along who's those goodies. Practices wash your hands. Stay home if you're sick, Stay from sick people carry on okay. Keep a positive panic. Let's carry support one another we'll get through it together. So there was a question about drive through testing. This is something that is in the works. It is up and going and some it's not up and going yet here but conversations are between hospitals to figure out a way that we can do some kind of testing where people do not have to walk into an ER to do that but they could vote some kind of offsite place. I don't know exactly look like yet, but conversations are ongoing between all of our hospital or about to respond to this we we would prefer. Sick people from do our ER unnecessarily so if we can we can capture people outside of the health care system and test them, and they go inside. that would be the preferable thing too. So that is in the works and I thank you for the reminder. To see to mention that so and then Jenny soon as that's finalized the first people before without first and then and you have to go through your doctor or through the rooms. you got that so you need to phone your doctor and for the emergency room. They'll tell you how to get the running into emergency road running into your doctor's office might have symptoms. They're good. We are live streaming people call them. And say okay, they should expect an interview from the provide questions about what their systems are when they started. How are they feeling that what kind of exposures they might have any did they travel? there's a form that comes in Ohio that has a list of those tunes and so providers will be in that form shortly to work through those questions. Do you will you just drive up and get tested parking lot there or how so that I can't answer at this point possibility just don't have as we have communicated out with all of you. Okay. what's happening right now? I'm tracking down the folks that were. You know, yeah, so trained disease large doing that nearly 47. I do get a little bit of sleep, but they're working very long to speak with every single person who's been tested and where they've been. They've been around what did they do how long did they do it? How close were the person they do a very thorough investigation and a list of all the people that need to be contacted. Contact contact them and then tell them that they need to quarantine themselves. Anyone being put in quarantine as a result of that, so we have any ongoing. Investigations right now, are you asking about the the ones that I know absolutely my best years have been doing that investigators have any idea there was that all together how many teams as I guess is what no I just thought available handful for me I I can't speak. Are we seeing any? Not with the not be we did have a two year old, said Negative. Released in the hospital. Range of the seven people have five or in their seventies, and you said you thought that they they have a couple different possible connections, possibly another country, but you don't right now. So this is an ongoing investigation. We were just in front this morning so the clues we have actually an actual exposure that's still in process. Do you know how long that they had? I'm sorry do not have the information how much is the governor's office just a half hour ago. Yesterday yesterday, it is and that we were going to hold a press conference so The official numbers came out when I spoke them. said We expect to get an update from you on the numbers. Oh goodness we are daily our and so you can communication from us day of the situation. I don't have a similar press conference, but I can tell you need we will hold one. website address is Ohio. Hospital. The hospital and the results came back today. There are around while we as soon as they're tested, they put into porch that is public job. That's what I would say that as soon as we swap someone they go in and then mount until the test results come back, negative or 14 days pass. That's why it's critical. we will be about testing people cuz it's automatic once someone is tested they go into corn. Close in a serum. University Very good quality in their discussions going on rest in me, what is and I can text that same conversation right now, there's a lot we don't know about here and at all. Having had how are you coming up? We work very closely high or both closely with the CDC and behind that data sources for responding and you're right narrow spot with them. The best that we have is what we use to plan our activities today tomorrow that may change. I've sometimes today is today tomorrow is tomorrow and it may make the best I can be to have cream but it is you know putting out this in retail stores having run. The paper necessary to stay is the government guys able to do anything to public. Basic hygiene for this virus. No biting anything cuz we don't think of that nature to provide I think I can defer. Behind me to maybe to that question niche on to the current health situation so about supply chain and broader questions like that are are better answered by someone else out here. Thank you. Commissioner Mercy Management so question you know, resource and supply chain is one of our key focus right now and lots of mechanisms to this and certainly what we're looking to do. Ohio Public Private partnership is an OPC three estate administration at the state level through the Department of Public Safety, so there's state emergency Operation Center is active right now and we'll continue to find these issues. We hear the. Positives like there's a strong store that may have in 90 - five master We share that information forth and we work as a partner to make sure ahead of time as best they can. And secondly, what I said is both officials truly are digging out as a rise in the sand sanitizer against order number of different days here this week and plenty of disinfectants. so you know hands and things like that. So there's lots of ways that we can go back. You know I know years ago, we didn't have the hand sanitizer like everybody wants a hand sanitizer now, so we continue to affect and I know our partnerships with the state level. we actually have the emergency management representative standing here with us today and Operation Center, their team helping us and what they've done is through The governor level and some of our departments like public PCOS and looked at some of the regulate that there are on commercial drivers that were able to move supplies in this emergency declaration that we have so it's just one example, but there's lots of ideas were in this much like a tornado or cane that will come through the same procedures are being enacted just like we would in a regular disaster declaration in the same place are coming to we bring in the public health emphasis that expertise cuz this is this area. This is their arena. so I've been on. In meetings with all chiefs around the County in the last few days, as well as elected in our cities in our townships for those folks that if there are needs work them through emergency Apple dinner and certainly will assist what we work with our state partners trying to be better. Absolutely and thank you. Matt, you know. and that's why that's why the function is performance remain calm. Look you don't need 70 - one packages a toilet. They come the summer. you're gonna be your closets are all full of toilet and if you keep your As the director indicated with supply chain people gamble people are supply chains all of the consumer across Russia is being on their doing what they can to ramp up and get the reason important thing now is to remain condone. Start buying a lot of stuff you don't need and you're gonna be the summer. Why much of it so that testing sure gets out to everybody community you sir any lessons. Yes, sir. Yes, sir. What is the? Community based on a little bit okay, so this is really a conference for the city of Oxford and the University to have together there are questions. Again, folks, we really appreciate your time we will continue to do daily updates, so we encourage to go to the Butler County General Health website for them. They're also a hotline in Butler County.
