response to COVID-19. Members of the Guard are helping in several ways funded through state and federal dollars.

• Genoa Retirement Center continues to be the hot spot within Ottawa County. All but two deaths within the county have unfortunately been from this facility.

• Given that a vast majority of Ohio’s deaths have been nursing home residents, Governor DeWine announced that he is starting a Congregate Care Unified Response Team which will begin nursing home testing with the help of the Ohio National Guard. Testing will be conducted in all facilities licensed by ODH where residents or workers have confirmed or assumed positive cases. Testing will be conducted on all staff, and the testing of residents will be based on a clinically-driven strategy that targets those who have likely been exposed to COVID-19. Testing will begin this week.

• More than half of the reported cases in Ottawa County have come from long-term care facilities. The details: - 62 of 102 cases in Ottawa County have come from three long-term care facilities (61%) - 39% of the cases have been community spread - 16 of the deaths are long-term care related

https://ocic.biz/coronavirus/ • COVID-19 is affecting the manufacturing sector.

o On May 14th Fenner Dunlop laid off all employees (approximately 80 people). The intent is for them to return, but there is no date scheduled. They currently have no orders and the business has been brought to a stand-still; thereby necessitating the lay-offs.

o Materion will be doing a large layoff (more than 50 employees) for 1-2 weeks (hopefully no longer) beginning Memorial Day. This is also due to COVID-19, lack of business for this area of the plant. Primarily the business area that relates to the oil & gas industry.

o Similar conversations have been had with other businesses in the manufacturing sector that are also being affected by COVID-19, causing business to be very slow

with little to no orders. One business mentioned waiting for 2-3 months to make a final decision about pulling the plug altogether.
