Gov. DeWine has issued the following coronavirus guidelines as part of his 21-day protocol period:
-Wear face masks when necessary such as caring for loved ones
-Practice social distancing, and stay-at-home other than essentials such as groceries, emergencies, and work and school requirements
-Limit Christmas and other holiday celebrations to those living in the immediate home and avoid travel if possible and large gatherings altogether
-Wash hands for at least 20 seconds and routinely clean in-home services to limit the possible spread of the virus.
The U.S. on Tuesday broke a COVID- 19 record of more than 3,000 deaths in a single day.
The governor has also reissued a statewide mask-wearing mandate and urges Ohioans to continue practicing social distancing and to wash their hands.
The deadly virus has spread to all 50 states and Washington, D.C. and the nation has nearly 15.6 million reported cases and some 292,000 people dead since early March, worldwide figures showing that there are 69.5 million cases globally and roughly 1.6 million deaths.
And more than 40 million Americans are out of work due to the crippling pandemic.
