WLWT5 reports (h/t Instapundit):
Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine unveiled the
first phase of his plan to reopen the state’s economy, laying out hard dates
when certain businesses may resume.
The state's stay-at-home order,
which was slated to expire May 1, will remain in place as the state begins to
reopen, the governor said. The extent of the stay-at-home order was not
provided.
The state will begin to reopen on
May 1 with health care procedures. Manufacturing, distribution, construction
and general business environments will follow on May 4, and all retailers can
resume business on May 12.
Reopening dates for other
businesses – including restaurants, gyms, bars and hair salons – were not provided,
as the governor said additional monitoring needs to be done.
The full report is here.
May 1? May 4? May 12?
These dates seem arbitrary. Why not re-open everything today? And what "additional monitoring" is he thinking of? You can register your support
of or displeasure with DeWine’s announcements:
