Mask Wearing Becomes Essential In OH

Gov., DeWine beseeches Ohioans to take the surging coronavirus spread seriously, issuing new orders on mask enforcement in businesses, gatherings across the state. He is also threatening to close bars, restaurants and fitness centers if cases continue to rise. The governor has shifted the authority of mask enforcement from the local counties to the state. The Ohio Bureau of Workers’ Compensation will be responsible for inspections across the 88 counties. If a business receives more than one violation it will have to close for 24 hours. He is also requiring businesses to display ‘No Mask, No Service’ signs…and to refuse service to customers who don’t comply. The state also banned social areas…like pool tables and dance floors at bars and restaurants.
