One more person tested positive for the novel coronavirus Wednesday, according to Summit County\u2019s coronavirus webpage<\/a>.<\/p>\n

A total of 201 people have tested positive for the virus since the first confirmed case March 5. On Tuesday, the county reported eight new cases, a small jump from previous weeks.<\/p>\n

In an interview Tuesday, Summit County Nurse Manager Sara Lopez said the county can\u2019t pinpoint the reasoning for the jump in cases, but some could be connected to people spending time together on Mother\u2019s Day.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are conducting some investigations around people that were visiting and in close contact (on Mother\u2019s Day),\u201d she said. \u201cWe have identified some cases following within that exposure and time.\u201d<\/p>\n
