In a Tuesday news conference DeWine acknowledged that Springfield had recently received an “unprecedented” surge of around 15,000 Haitian immigrants, bringing a strain on healthcare providers, translators and rental availability.

DeWine announced that he would direct the Ohio State Highway Patrol to bring troopers to assist Springfield’s police with traffic concerns, including “erratic” driving. He also said he would allocate $2.5 million over the next two years for the Ohio Department of Health to assist the Clark County Health Department with a heightened demand for medical care.
