In a press conference on Tuesday, Ohio Governor Mike Dewine announced that Red Alert Level 3 counties in Ohio would require masks in public beginning on Wednesday at 6 pm. The new order includes Butler, Cuyahoga, Franklin, Hamilton, Huron, Montgomery, and Trumbull counties.
Dewine states the order will remain in effect until the counties can drop to from a Level 3 to Level 2, or from a very high risk of exposure and spread to an increased risk according to the new Ohio Public Health Advisory System.
