Ohio Governor Mike DeWine provided the following updates on the status of the state's response to the COVID-19 pandemic.
MASKS IN SCHOOLS
Governor DeWine announced that the Ohio Department of Health will issue a health order requiring that K-12 children wear face coverings while at school. The new mandate comes after the Ohio Children's Hospital Association and American Academy of Pediatrics Ohio Chapter issued a joint letter recommending widespread use of masks in schools with the following exceptions:
"If you enjoy working with “hands on” projects and want to help with pulling weeds, landscaping or painting we have a number of projects available at Maple Crest, Hilty Home, Willow Ridge and Mennonite Memorial Home," says Jessica Strahm, volunteer coordinator at MHCO.
"Personal protective equipment (masks) should be worn and we encourage volunteers to bring their own water and snacks," she said.
