Ohio Department of Health Director Stephanie McCloud

The Ohio Department of Health director has signed some new orders dealing with the care of older Ohioans.

Weeks after it was discovered that thousands of deaths were not recorded, the state's Health Department is switching to a new process.

Employees have been put on administrative leave, resigned or have been reassigned as an investigation continues into how thousands of deaths have been left out of the state's coronavirus numbers.

More deaths are expected to be added to the data in the next few days.

Gov. Mike DeWine is bringing aboard a new director and chief medical officer at the Ohio Department of Health.
