OH Biz Group Wants Workers Covid Input

A leading Ohio business group asks employees to come up with the best practices for reducing the spread of the coronavirus…as it warns of the impact the current spike in cases could have on the economy. The Ohio Business Roundtable, a nonprofit organization of chief executive officers, wants workers to encourage mask wearing at any gathering outside immediate family, avoid large gatherings such as game day celebrations, and reconsider indoor holiday parties. The announcement comes as Ohio’s economy continues to show signs of weakness. Last week, 30,177 Ohioans filed initial claims for unemployment compensation, a 21% jump from the week before.
