CLEVELAND, Ohio-Cleveland Mayor Frank Jackson will hold a press conference at 10 am on Friday, Nov. 13  as Cleveland, like the  U.S., has  broken a coronavirus  record, the U.S on Wednesday reporting nine consecutive days of more than 1,000 deaths from the pandemic since it broke-out in the country in early March. (Editor's note: Cleveland residents and other interested persons can watch the press conference on the city of Cleveland Facebook page)

Jackson announced Wednesday that the largely Black city of Cleveland reported 194 new cases in a single day, up from a previous daily record of 115 cases. 

"Today the number of COVID- 19 cases in the city Cleveland has topped our previous records," said Jackson, a four-term Black mayor. "We must reverse course."

Some 153 Clevelanders have died from the virus, most of them elderly and over 70-years-old

The U.S. also broke a world record Wednesday with over 144,000 new confirmed cases, bringing its total number of cases to 10.5 million, coupled with some 244,000 deaths. 

Worldwide there are 52.2 million confirmed cases and some 1.4 million deaths, and more than 65,000 Americans are hospitalized, more than any time before the virus hit the country with a vengeance this year.

Research also reveals that nationwide Blacks are at higher risk for the deadly virus. 

According to the Ohio Department of Health, Ohio has  5,674 new coronavirus cases and 76 new deaths, bringing its total since early March to 267,000 cases and 5,632 deaths.

Ohio has seen an increase by 50,000 cases in less than 15 days.

Cuyahoga County, which includes Cleveland and the second largest of the state's 88 counties, has recorded 26,048 confirmed cases and 715 deaths in the past eight months.

Data show that COVID-19 is affecting 213 countries and territories around the world and two international conveyances, the U.S. leading all of the countries in both reported cases and affiliated deaths.

As Americans nationwide deal with a third spike of the virus, masks are now required in  public in states, counties and cities across the country, including in Ohio.
Ohio Governor Mike DeWine

Ohio GOP Gov. Mike DeWine this week expended his mask-wearing mandate and threatened to close bars, in-person restaurants, and gyms if the virus continues to surge.
