Any positive test (not just the one initially approved) is now to be reported as a case.

Also an epidemiological basis +symptoms + absence of any other explanation is counted as a case.

I have yet to find a formal announcement about it - but DeWine read from it at his press conference on Tuesday.

Ohio formally had 5 new deaths today. but a bunch of reclassified ones (I've seen reports as high as 50).

It will be hard to track from day to day, since the reclassification will add new deaths to prior days that will show up as new on a day other than the day of the death.
