He’s looking for 50 cases per 100,000 people, now we are at 125 and dropping fast, I guess he think 3 weeks will be close enough. Either way, I’m happy,
Ohio will lift the state mask mandate and all remaining coronavirus health orders except those for nursing homes and assisted living facilities on June 2, Gov. Mike DeWine said Wednesday evening.
DeWine said his decision to lift orders follows four weeks of declining coronavirus infections and hospitalizations and the Food and Drug Administration’s authorization to use the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine in children age 12 and older. In the next three weeks, DeWine said, Ohioans will have ample opportunities to get vaccinated.
“The vaccine is here. Its stronger and better than medical experts ever imagined,” DeWine said. “Everyone can now control their own health. Everyone can now control their own destiny.”
DeWine, a Republican, said schools and businesses will be able to set their own requirements, including for masking and distancing, after the state orders end.
DeWine set a benchmark to lift remaining coronavirus health orders, including the mask mandate: 50 new cases per 100,000 residents during the past two weeks.
