Lenawee County, MI – Neighboring Ohio will be lifting COVID-19 health orders starting June 2nd, as announced by Governor Mike DeWine on Wednesday.
He said that it applies to all of the state’s COVID-19 orders — such as distancing in restaurants and the mask mandate — except those for nursing homes and other long-term care facilities. However, he noted that stores and businesses still may require customers to be masked.
In announcing the news, the governor cited the sharp drop in the number of COVID-19 cases and hospitalizations and high vaccination rates among people 65 and older….
More than 4.2 million people in Ohio had completed the vaccination process as of Tuesday, or about 36% of the population. The number of people seeking vaccines has dropped in recent weeks, with an average of about 16,500 starting the process last week, down from figures above 80,000 in April.
