There is no sign that Ohio's new virus cases have reached a peak yet."
The Mask Mandate issued by the Governor remains in place. While many businesses are allowing entrance without a mask, people are doing so at their risk and are potentially exposing others.
Wearing masks, social distancing of at least 6 feet, and making the effort to frequently wash your hands are important steps in helping to stop the spread.
