COLUMBUS, Ohio - During the Governor's daily update Friday, he said it's looking like the peak of this won't hit its highest point until mid-May and the hospitals have to be prepared.

Dr. Amy Acton and Governor Mike Dewine say they are now projecting that they may have 10,000 new cases a day in the state.

They're now asking for plans from all of the hospitals and urging everyone to do their part in slowing the spread.

DeWine said in about two weeks; this is going to start hitting hard in our hospitals and hospital admissions.

DeWine is warning all hospitals they need to be prepared for two or three times their occupancy rate.

He's divided the state up into eight regions.

He's asking each region for their tentative plans to be on his desk tomorrow morning and a finalized plan Monday.

"Again, two things we have to do, and we have to do them simultaneously. One is social distancing and to slow this thing down, the other is to build up very, very quickly," said DeWine. "We do not have a lot of time."

Dr. Acton said there is no system in the world built to sustain a once in a one hundred year pandemic like this.

DeWine said he would talk Saturday about what some of the needs are, including medical equipment.
