Ohio Governor Mike DeWine announced that Ohio’s Stay at Home order has been extended until 11:59 p.m. on May 1, 2020. A Chinese translation of the order can be found here.
“We understand that this is tough - it is very difficult. But, I would not be making these decisions if it wasn’t a matter of life and death,” said Governor DeWine. “We have to keep this monster down. It’s not dead - it’s very much alive.”
