Ohio will be closing all schools for three weeks starting Monday amid the coronavirus outbreak, Gov. Mike DeWine (R) announced Thursday.
DeWine said the decision to have an “extended spring break†came after consulting with experts. The closure will be reviewed at the end of the three weeks.
The risk for children, unless they have another medical problem, is not high but children are potential carriers of the virus, DeWine noted.
“We will continue to consult with educators on this. We have to take this action. We have to do everything we can do slow down the spread of this virus,†he tweeted.
