Even if you recover from a coronavirus infection, the impacts could be long-term. We're getting closer to the end of this pandemic, but it's not over yet. Please #StaySafeOhio. #MasksOnOhio #InThisTogetherOhio

Today is #WorldPrematurityDay.

Approximately 1⃣ million children around 🌎🌍🌏 die each year due to complications from #preterm birth, and survivors may face a lifetime of ill-health.

Less than a month ago, most of the state had Orange Level 2 levels of spread. Today, most of our state has reached Red Level 3.

Since Oct. 15th, 106,685 people have been diagnosed w/ #COVID19. 5,032 people have been hospitalized. 662 people have died.

Help us #SlowTheSpread.

[Governor Mike DeWine @GovMikeDeWine]

❌𝗠𝘆𝘁𝗵: Masks don't prevent the spread of #COVID19.
✅𝗙𝗮𝗰𝘁: Masks can stop the evaporation of droplets that carry viruses so they fall quickly instead of traveling on a forward path and floating in the air. Droplets also get less momentum when blocked by a mask.

[Jefferson County General Health District @JeffCoHD]

Our friends in Franklin County summed it up perfectly.
