Mike DeWine plans to slowdown the spread of the coronavirus in Ohio by enforcing a statewide curfew from 10 p.m. to 5 a.m. starting Thursday.
We are issuing a curfew in Ohio that will start Thursday. This will run from 10 p.m. to 5 a.m. for 21 days. We believe this will help reduce #COVID19 spread. I’m also asking each Ohioan every day to do at least one thing that reduces your contact with others.
