Fox 19, Apr 16, 2020

CINCINNATI (FOX19) - Ohio Governor Mike DeWine said Ohio will begin to open back up on May 1.

“I am an optimist and am confident that Ohioans will also live up to the challenge of doing things differently as we open back up beginning on May 1st,” he said.

DeWine said as the state open backs up, they will continue to monitor where Ohio is in the curve, the amount of PPE that’s available and Ohio’s testing capacity.

He asked each industry in the state to put plans together in regard to how they would protect employees and customers when they begin to open up.

In addition, the governor wants essential businesses that have been open to help come up with best practices.

He says the state has to figure out how the safest way possible for businesses, schools, and citizens to emerge from the stay-at-home order

DeWine said he wants to talk with superintendents before making a school announcement “early next week” on what the next phase looks like for them.

DeWine was one of the very few elected officials who was actually out in front of this -- the other was Sen. Tom Cotton without whose pressure on Trump we'd have been in a much worse situation than we actually are.  The only 'Rat who came close is Newsom in CA, but he was a couple of weeks behind DeWine (though some county health departments in CA did almost as well as DeWine did for Ohio).
