DeWine made the announcement Sunday during his daily news conference to update the spread of the COVID-19 coronavirus, stating that ODH Director Dr. Amy Acton has signed the order.
“There is really nothing in that order, that we have not already been talking about,” said DeWine. “There’s nothing in that order, that I have not been asking you to do for the last week or so.”
The order goes into effect at 11:59 p.m. Monday and will go until at least April 6. Then it will be reevaluated, according to DeWine.
